Gerard Pique is currently at odds with the Andorran government, a dispute that stems from the usage of the National Stadium in the country, which is the home stadium for FC Andorra – for now.
FC Andorra, who Pique has been owner of since 2018, are set to be kicked out of their current home by the Andorran government, who have said that the Segunda club will not be allowed to continue using the facilities.
