FC Andorra owner Gerrard Pique handed six-game ban for outburst at match officials

The RFEF said in a statement ‌that Pique was also banned for two months from all official ‌football activity.

Following Andorra's 1-0 ⁠home loss ‌to Albacete on Friday, referee Alonso ​de Ena Wolf noted in his report that Pique ​shouted at match officials in a threatening manner, Spanish media reported.

Other ⁠club officials ​were also involved in the incident, including Andorra president Ferran Vilaseca and sporting director Jaume Nogues. ‌Vilaseca has been banned for four months. Nogues, like Pique, received a six-match suspension and a two-month ban.

The RFEF disciplinary committee also ordered Andorra to close its presidential box and VIP areas for two matches, and fined ‌the club 1,500 euros ($1,762).

Friday's defeat ​dealt a heavy blow to ‌Andorra's chances of qualifying for the promotion playoffs, with the club sitting eight points below the top six with four ⁠games left.
