Background

Lluís Fàbregas, President of Nàstic de Tarragona, has been a strong advocate for the interests of non-professional clubs. His role in this situation could be crucial to promote better communication between the clubs and the FCF and strengthen the interests of the clubs in the region.

Why this is important

The decision of the Federació Catalana de Futbol (FCF) to deny clubs such as Nàstic de Tarragona and Olot the use of their premises has sparked a wave of outrage. Presidents like Lluís Fàbregas and Joan Agustí see this as a direct affront to the interests of non-professional clubs, which rely on a platform to discuss and represent their concerns.

Key findings

• The FCF denies the clubs the use of theirs.
• The FCF has denied the clubs the use of their premises, causing great outrage among the presidents of Nàstic and Olot.
• The FCF is going to the clubs and no one will be back in the same room.

The Federació Catalana de Futbol (FCF) has once again made an explosive decision that is causing discontent among the clubs. The presidents of Nàstic de Tarragona and Olot, Lluís Fàbregas and Joan Agustí, as representatives of the non-professional clubs of the Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF), had asked for a room at the FCF headquarters in Barcelona to talk to other presidents about the concerns of the different categories. "On September 2nd we asked the FCF for a room for a meeting. We proposed two dates, September 16th or 17th. By September 17th we had not received any feedback as to whether we could use the room or not," report Fàbregas and Agustí. The two presidents are visibly upset by the FCF's lack of response: "We were not even given the dignity to respond. However, we know that the FCF has contacted other clubs to inform them that the meeting will not take place and that they will not make the room available to us." The presidents of Nàstic and Olot are also outraged: "We are not even allowed to gather in our own house. The FCF belongs to the clubs and we are the presidents. The federation should serve the clubs and not the other way around. We are being degraded, and not just us, but all 42 presidents we represent." Given the lack of response from the FCF, an alternative was sought and the meeting finally took place at the Hotel Ilunion Auditori, just a three-minute walk from the FCF. When the FCF learned of this meeting, clubs were told that there could be consequences for attending, resulting in many who had originally agreed to withdraw their participation. Ultimately, 18 clubs were present, including Nàstic and Olot as well as Europa, Sant Andreu, Reus, Martinenc, Tona, Pobla Mafumet, Mollerussa and Igualada. During the meeting, important issues were discussed such as the subsidies that many clubs reported not receiving. The Federation's "excessive punishments" and feelings of "abandonment and neglect by the institution" were also discussed. The upcoming FCF presidential elections next February were also discussed, with all clubs present agreeing that a strong and unified alternative is needed to change the current situation.

What happens next

The presidents of Nàstic and Olot have already organized an alternative meeting in a hotel to discuss the issues such as subsidies and penalties. It remains to be seen whether the FCF responds to the pressure from the clubs and promotes a more constructive dialogue in the future, especially in view of the upcoming challenges related to the 2026 World Cup.
