Barcelona FC has announced it will hold presidential elections on June 13.

Club president Joan Laporta said on Barcelona's Web site the date had been chosen to avoid "interfering with the sporting interests of the club."

The Spanish league season ends on May 16, with the Champions League final held May 22nd.

Laporta took charge with an election victory in 2003 and won a second election unchallenged three years later. He will not be running for a third term.
