Pique Receives Two-Month Ban Over Referee Row

Gerard Pique was handed a two‑month suspension by the Spanish federation after an argument with a referee during FC Andorra’s 1‑0 defeat by Albacete.

Former Spain and Barcelona captain Gerard Pique, now co‑owner of FC Andorra, was banned for two months following a heated exchange with referee Alonso de Ena Wolf after Andorra’s 1‑0 loss to Albacete. The referee’s report cited Pique’s remarks about safety and local civility, prompting the federation’s disciplinary committee to cite “notorious and public acts that undermine sporting dignity.” Other Andorra staff also faced suspensions. xsportfeed.quest
