Gerard Piqué, owner of FC Andorra and former FC Barcelona player, has appealed to Andorran residents for help clearing snow from the club's stadium ahead of Saturday's match.
In a video posted on his social media accounts, Piqué urged citizens to bring shovels to remove the 28 centimetres of snow blanketing the pitch at Estadi Nacional in Andorra la Vella. The team is scheduled to face Cultural Leonesa around 4:15pm, and he emphasised the need to ensure the game can go ahead.
"Bring shovels, we'll get this sorted," Piqué said optimistically in the clip.
The call comes amid heavy snowfall in the Pyrenean principality, which has disrupted outdoor activities and sports events. FC Andorra, competing in Spain's Primera RFEF, relies on community support to maintain its home fixtures.
No official confirmation has been issued yet on whether the match will proceed as planned or if authorities might intervene with professional snow removal. Piqué's initiative highlights the challenges smaller clubs face with extreme weather in Andorra's mountainous terrain.
