Key Points
- Six players negotiated individual releases from FC Rangers due to unpaid wages and debts.

- Two join other Andorran clubs; four return to Mexico, disappointed by unfulfilled promises.
- Club plans new signings to stay in league title contention despite financial woes.
At least six players from FC Ranger’s squad have secured their release from the club and will no longer play under Mexican international Marco Fabián, the team’s leader. More departures could follow amid ongoing doubts about the project’s viability, with the crisis dragging on for months due to unpaid wages and mounting debts.
Each player has negotiated their exit individually, with Fabián and other club officials handling the discussions directly. Several had previously sought to leave, but the club made partial payments on outstanding salaries—typically two or three months’ wages, depending on the individual—which temporarily stalled their efforts. The six who succeeded this time refused to wait any longer.
Two of them have offers from other Andorran clubs and will continue in the Multisegur League. The remaining four plan to return to Mexico, where they originally came from with hopes of breaking into European football or at least gaining exposure for better opportunities. Some secured full repayment of what was owed, while others received coverage for their travel home. Sources describe the experience as a major disappointment, with promises falling far short of reality.
Despite severe financial woes and months without pay, Ranger’s remains in contention for the league title. The club intends to sign new players to stay competitive, according to those close to the situation.
