Overview
- A disciplinary panel of the Royal Spanish Football Federation handed FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono a 12-match suspension on November 13, citing Article 102 and the referee’s report that said he struck Jesús de Miguel with excessive force.
- The match between CD Tenerife and FC Andorra was abandoned in stoppage time on November 2 and Tenerife confirmed striker Jesús de Miguel died the following morning on November 3 after being taken to hospital.
- Spanish National Police opened a routine judicial inquiry under judicial supervision to establish the circumstances of the non-natural death, and prosecutors have indicated criminal charges appear unlikely at this stage.
- Owono has withdrawn from Equatorial Guinea selection, deactivated social media, remains out of training, and FC Andorra says he will decide if and when to return while receiving psychological support.
- Clubs and officials have pledged financial and long-term support for de Miguel’s family and the incident has prompted calls for clearer guidance on goalkeeper challenges and reviews of on-field emergency medical protocols.
