Piqué Penalized: Six-Match Ban & Two-Month Ownership Suspension

Gerard Piqué, Andorra soccer club owner and former Spanish football star, faces a six-match suspension and a two-month ban from club ownership due to his protests against refereeing decisions during a recent second-division game. The club also incurs fines and partial stadium closure sanctions.

Gerard Piqué, the prominent figure in Spanish football, has been handed a six-match suspension by the Spanish soccer federation. The decision follows Piqué's vociferous complaints about the refereeing during a second-division match, which saw Andorra lose 1-0 to Albacete.

The federation has further restricted Piqué from managing the club's operations for two months. These actions accompany a 1,500 euros fine levied on the club and the temporary closure of part of Andorra’s home stadium for two fixtures.

After taking ownership of FC Andorra in 2018, Piqué has helped the team climb from the fifth division. Despite its current 10th place standing in the league, the club faces challenges off the field with the repercussions of this ruling.
