Andorra Storm: Piqué Asks Fans for Support

A few hours before kick-off scheduled for 4:15 p.m., the Estadi Nacional woke up under nearly 28 centimeters of snow, jeopardizing the match of the 21st day of LaLiga Hypermotion.

The framework is clear. It is Saturday in Andorra. FC Andorra must host Cultural Leonesa in an important championship match. But an exceptional snowstorm transforms the lawn into an impassable white field, providing spectacular but worrying images for the match.

Faced with this situation, Gerard Piqué took the initiative. The former FC Barcelona defender calls on supporters to come to the stadium to help remove the snow and try to keep the match on schedule. A rare mobilization in professional football, symbol of the urgency and commitment of the club.

A meeting is quickly organized between the two clubs and the refereeing body in order to assess the playing conditions. The objective is clear to play if possible this Saturday and avoid a postponement to Sunday.

More LaLiga announced at the same time that it had asked the single judge of the Spanish Federation for the suspension and postponement of the match, citing weather conditions incompatible with the safety of the players.
