The Catalan Football Federation (FCF) has decided to suspend all futsal activity in Catalonia this weekend following a serious assault on a referee during a youth match in Canet. The measure, announced Wednesday night, affects all matches scheduled for February 27th and 28th and March 1st. The incident occurred last Saturday when a fan of CFS La Unión Santa Coloma de Gramanet threw a fanny pack from the stands, which struck the referee, knocking him to the ground. The incident, which happened just minutes before the end of the match, was the final straw for referees who are denouncing a "sustained increase in verbal and physical assaults in recent weeks." Therefore, the federation wanted to take a strong response to what it considers "absolutely intolerable" events.

The Catalonia-Palestine match scheduled for Tuesday, November 18 (6:30 p.m.) has been resolved: after all parties involved reached an agreement, the match will be played where planned. the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium. Barça will act as the operator, and the costs associated with its organization will be covered by the Barcelona City Council, which will provide the stadium for the match; the Catalan Government's Department of Sports; and the Act x Palestine platform, which is promoting the initiative. The parties involved in organizing the Catalonia-Palestine match (the Catalan Government, the Barcelona City Council, the Catalan Football Federation, Barça, and Act x Palestine) met this morning at the Department of Sports to finalize the details and reach an agreement. The main point of contention was reducing the budget for playing the match at Montjuïc, which the FCF initially estimated at "more than 600,000 euros." According to information obtained by ARA, the meeting served to reduce the budget, a task that is still being worked on in some aspects, and to determine the costs that each party will bear. It has been crucial that the City Council, through Barcelona de Servicios Municipales, the company that manages the Lluís Companys Stadium, provides the stadium free of charge, the rental of which is approximately €180,000 plus taxes for each match.

Lluís Fàbregas (Tarragona, 1967) has spent half his life at Nàstic. In the 1980s, he stood in goal for the club in the Third and Second B divisions, and in the 21st century he joined the club's organizational chart, where he has done everything from leading the commercial and brand department to being its general manager for fifteen years. In the summer of 2024, he replaced Josep Maria Andreu as club president. The change came shortly after the fateful night against Málaga, marked by the decisions of Eder Mallo, which frustrated the team's promotion to Second Division nastiquer and led to an unprecedented complaint against a member of the court, admitted for processing because the judge warned of signs of "document falsification and corruption in sports."
