Andorra Football Receives €12M UEFA Solidarity Funding

Andorra's national football received nearly €12 million from UEFA for the 2024-2025 season in solidarity funding, ranking it 29th among Europe's 55 federations.

The Federació Andorrana de Futbol (FAF) reported that UEFA's financial closeout allocated €11,952,000 overall. Of this, €6,974,000 went directly to the federation, with the largest share—€4,089,000—supporting infrastructure under the Hat-Trick programme. These funds financed completion of the new FAF Stadium in Encamp. The remaining €2,885,000 came from performance-based grants, where the FAF secured most of the €3 million available by meeting key objectives.

Clubs competing in last summer's European preliminary rounds received €4,978,000. UE Santa Coloma earned the highest amount at €1.45 million after reaching the Conference League play-offs. Inter d'Escaldes gained €700,000, while Atlètic d'Escaldes received €325,000.

UEFA will discuss the 2024-2025 accounts and the 2026-2027 budget at its 50th General Congress in Brussels on 12 February, alongside the Nations League draw that includes Andorra. The organisation anticipates higher revenues ahead.

In related domestic news, the FAF has contingency plans to avert cancellations in this weekend's Lliga Multisegur Assegurances round amid forecasts of heavy snow today and tomorrow. If matches at Borda Mateu and the Estadi Nacional prove unplayable, the full fixture list will shift to the Alàs sports centre and take place on Sunday. A Ranger's vs Penya Encarnada game is already scheduled at Borda Mateu this afternoon.

The Lliga Grup Pirineus second-division round would be postponed under this scenario. Matches at Ordino's Tecnificació Centre or La Massana's CE Francesc Vila could also relocate if needed. The FAF recently moved Copa Constitució ties to Alàs for similar weather reasons.
