FC Andorra licence dispute

Entities: Josep Cerdà · Lautaro Spatz · FC Andorra · Jaume Nogués · Gerard Piqué

Overview

In late July 2026 the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) prohibited FC Andorra from obtaining or renewing any federative licences after the club failed to pay former head coach Eder Sarabia and assistant Jon López, owing €411,557.04 and €43,901.47 respectively. The sanction threatened the club’s ability to register its squad for the 2026/27 season and gave a five‑day deadline for settlement.

Within a week the club announced it had cleared the outstanding amounts, ending the registration block. With the licence restriction lifted, FC Andorra moved to complete its roster, already having ten new players under contract and focusing on signing two wingers to finish the squad.

The episode links the financial dispute with the federation’s enforcement action and the subsequent rapid repayment that restored the club’s eligibility to compete.
