Figueres is promoted to the Catalan Superliga and Lloret will have to wait

The other team from the Girona regions that arrived with options to secure a place was Lloret. The Selvatans did not depend on themselves and needed to add the three points and wait for Granollers or Figueres to slip. Albert Batllosera’s men have not complied and have drawn 3 to 3 at the Parets field. Lloret paid dearly for a bad start to the match in which they lost 3 to 0 in the 20th minute. Knowing that they only needed victory, they took a step forward in the second half to try to turn the game around. The coastal team was one step away from completing the comeback with a brace from Roca and a goal from Marc Vilà in the last quarter of an hour. Now, the people from Lloret will have to play a promotion play-off with Viladecans to decide which of the two teams ends up being promoted to the Catalan Superliga.

As for the rest of the Girona teams that were already in the category, they are as follows. L’Escala, as champion, will play in the 3rd RFEF, Palamós will do so in the Superliga after certifying promotion the previous day and Bescanó, Can Gibert, Banyoles and Bosc de Tosca will continue for another year in the 1st Catalan.

The remodeling of 3rd RFEF

In case of defeat in the play-off, Lloret could end up being promoted to the Catalan Superliga if the change in the competition plan for the next season to the 3rd RFEF is approved. In this way, the teams in the category will be increased from 16 to 18, thus preventing some teams from losing the category and more Catalan 1st teams ending up in the Superliga. The final decision must be taken on June 26, when the Delegated Commission of the RFEF must approve the new plan. If the go-ahead is given, the domino effect could have implications for Catalan 2nd and the categories below.
