Jesús Owono Disciplinary Verdict Expected This Week

The disciplinary sanction for Andorra player Jesús Owono will be revealed this week following the incident that led to the death of Jesús de Miguel.

According to a report by COPE, the federation reached a decision but postponed the public disclosure last week out of respect for the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.

The disciplinary committee met on Tuesday to review penalties from the latest round of matches. An official verdict regarding Owono is expected before Andorra’s upcoming away match against Almería, which is scheduled for Saturday.

The federation is currently handling a process without precedent in Spanish football, as the current regulations do not provide for a scenario with such a tragic outcome.

Under the disciplinary code, an act of aggression is punishable with a suspension between four and 12 matches, with aggravating factors that can elevate the maximum penalty to 15 games — the practical equivalent of almost four months of inactivity.

While the standard penalty framework focuses on match bans, measures such as the revocation of a sporting license or total disqualification have also been referred to, although such measures are typically reserved for infractions such as involvement in sports betting.

When will the final decision on Jesús Owono be released?
The RFEF is expected to announce the disciplinary ruling before Andorra faces Almería this Saturday.
