Samuel Eto'o, Deco and Rafa Márquez have also expressed their support for Laporta through a video.

The candidacy aims to also incorporate Carles Puyol into the project.

"If we win, I would really like to have you," said Yuste.

The former president has been supported by technicians such as Xavi Llorens, who was coach of grassroots football and the Barcelona women's team, and Albert Benaiges, former coordinator of La Masia and who also appears in the sports organization chart announced by the candidate Víctor Font.

Laporta's candidacy also has the support of Mateu Alemany, former president of Mallorca and former candidate for the presidency of the Spanish Federation in 2007.

Font has Xavi Hernández as general manager of his sports project, while the third candidate for the elections Toni Freixa bets on former soccer player Lluís Carreras.
