FC Barcelona and Sevilla kicked out of the Queen’s Cup
On Tuesday, January 24, the portal elmundo.es reported that the disciplinary board of the Spanish Football Federation had decided to exclude Barcelona from the competition. The club must also pay a fine of €1,001. It turns out that not only the oversight of the Catalans met with a specific reaction from the federation. Sevilla were also excluded from the competition, which was sued by Villarreal. All because of the appearance on the pitch of Nagore Calderona, who was excluded from the match against UDG Tenerife in the previous cup.
The disciplinary judges did not accept the explanations of both clubs. Barcelona claimed they had no knowledge of Ferreira’s suspension, as the punishment allegedly did not appear in the federation’s disciplinary order. Seville tried a similar trick, accusing the federation of “negligence”.
