Overview
- The Spanish federation announced the sanctions Wednesday, handing Piqué a six-match ban and a two-month disqualification from acting as FC Andorra owner.
- The committee said the punishment followed the referee’s report, which describes Piqué pursuing officials in the tunnel and making threatening remarks that undermined sporting dignity.
- President Ferran Vilaseca was suspended four months, sporting director Jaume Noguera received the same punishment as Piqué, and match delegate Cristian Lanzarote got a three-game ban plus a two-month suspension.
- FC Andorra was fined 1,500 euros and the stadium’s presidential box and VIP seats will be closed for two home matches.
- Andorra dispute the referee’s account and say they will present evidence to challenge the ruling.
