Celta Vigo have laid the financial groundwork for the 2026-27 campaign. The club's General Shareholders' Meeting approved a €107 million budget for next season on Tuesday, along with a €10 million capital increase that could rise to €20 million to fund the Celta360 project.

  • €107 million budget approved for the 2026-27 season.
  • Capital increase of €10 million, extendable to €20 million, for Celta360.
  • Club revenue surpassed €100 million for the first time in its history.
  • Board renewal with José Maroto and Manuel Villanueva joining.
  • Marian Mouriño highlighted two straight top-ten finishes in LaLiga.

A €107m budget to keep Celta among Spain's top sides

The newly approved €107 million budget underlines Celta's ambition to remain competitive at the top end of LaLiga. The figure approved by shareholders reflects a club that has spent the last two seasons in the top half of the table and back in European competition.

Celta360: the capital increase built for the next 100 years

The €10 million capital increase, with room to double, will be used to continue the Celta360 infrastructure project. The initiative is already taking shape and is seen by the board as essential to securing the club's long-term development.

Making the Celta360 project a reality, which is already emerging and visible, is a major step in consolidating a serious club, with vision and ambition, rooted in its origins and its surroundings.

Marian Mouriño used those words to defend the operation before shareholders. The president stressed that the capital increase is designed to protect the club and give it the tools to keep growing without losing its identity.

Marian Mouriño: top-ten finishes and a European dream

Mouriño highlighted the team's recent progress. She pointed out that Celta have finished in the top ten of LaLiga for two consecutive seasons, a goal set to move the club away from the relegation zone and allow it to aim higher. Two years in European competitions, she said, show that a European Celta is not just a passing moment.

The Celta president also stressed that the academy remains the club's foundation and that Celta360 is closely linked to strengthening it.

Record revenue: Celta surpass €100m in turnover

Chief financial officer Miguel Ángel Amo presented the previous year's financial results during the meeting. The club's turnover exceeded €100 million for the first time in its history, a milestone that signals a new level of financial management and stability.

Board changes: Maroto and Villanueva step into new roles

The renewal of the board of directors was another key decision made at the meeting. José Maroto, a Costa Rican businessman with experience in sports management, and Manuel Villanueva, a Galician journalist and communicator with more than four decades of professional experience, will replace Xisela Aranda and José Álvarez.

Celta look to the future with solid accounts

A growing budget, record turnover and a reinforced financial structure through the capital increase paint a picture of stability for Celta Vigo. The board believes Celta360 can act as a springboard for the next decade and help the club hold its place among the elite of Spanish football with European ambitions.
