No Official Confirmation Yet

Despite these rumors, neither Qatar Airways nor Barcelona has made any official statement regarding their sponsorship deal. Some people believe that this could be because both parties are still negotiating and trying to come to an agreement.

Conclusion

So, does Qatar Airways still sponsor Barcelona? The answer is unclear at this point in time.
