Overview
- Piqué, the majority owner of FC Andorra, received a six‑match ban and a two‑month functional suspension on Wednesday, with the disciplinary panel citing “minor violence against referees.”
- The case stems from FC Andorra’s 0–1 home loss to Albacete on May 1, when a late goal sparked protests and the referee issued four red cards to the home bench.
- Referee Alonso de Ena Wolf reported that Piqué threatened officials at halftime and after full‑time, quoting him as saying they should “leave with an escort” and that “in another country they would destroy you.”
- FC Andorra rejected parts of the referee’s account the next day, while Piqué later posted on X that the referee lacked the required level and showed bias against the club.
- The federation also fined FC Andorra €1,500 and ordered the temporary closure of the stadium’s VIP and box sections, which will curb hospitality operations at upcoming home games.
