FC Andorra Secures €238,095 UEFA Solidarity Payment After Documentation Fix

**FC Andorra secures €238,095 UEFA solidarity payment after documentation issues resolved**

FC Andorra will receive €238,095.24 from UEFA's solidarity programme, channelled through the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). The grant, detailed in a resolution published this week, supports youth football development exclusively.

One of 21 Segunda División clubs—excluding Real Sociedad's reserve side, which benefits via its parent team—the payment draws from Spain's €10 million annual UEFA allocation, level with those of Europe's top five leagues. The RFEF divides it evenly: €5 million to Primera División's 12 eligible teams (€416,666.67 each) and €5 million across Segunda's 21 clubs. Clubs must maintain youth programmes, meet standards and submit complete paperwork. Andorra's initial bid was rejected for lacking updated tax agency and social security payment certificates, but the RFEF later granted the full amount.

**Club targets home win over Eibar amid strong form**

FC Andorra, 13th with 39 points and 12 games remaining, hosts SD Eibar on Saturday at 4:15pm in Nou Estadi de la FAF, Encamp. A victory would mark a third consecutive home win, taking them towards the 50-point mark seen as secure for survival. Ten points from the last 12 and four games unbeaten—including a Granada draw—have boosted momentum.

Coach Carles Manso called for focus to build Encamp as a stronghold over seven remaining home fixtures, while respecting Eibar's defence, which has shipped just four goals lately with several shutouts. The 10th-placed visitors hold 42 points, unbeaten in eight bar one loss but winless away in recent outings. Possible returns include Manu Nieto, Martí Vilà, Théo Le Normand and Jastin; out are Édgar González and Álex Calvo. Imanol, Minsu and Olabarrieta risk suspension. Eibar's Beñat San José praised Andorra's pace and skill. Eibar won the reverse 2-0, but Manso views a home success as progress.

**Retro kit unveiled at Madrid Fashion Week for Cádiz clash**

FC Andorra revealed its retro away shirt this morning at LaLiga's fashion show during Madrid Fashion Week, alongside other top- and second-tier clubs. The white design revives an iconic early-1990s alternative kit from Segunda B days, featuring flag colours and the Andorra Turisme logo—used at the old Estadi Comunal amid promotion pushes before financial woes nearly ended the club.

It will debut in the LaLiga Retro Jornada away at Cádiz, April 10-13 (matchday 35 for Segunda). Referees and broadcast graphics will adopt vintage styles across fixtures. The event ended with a dress made from historic shirts of Spain's 42 professional clubs, celebrating football's cultural ties.
