Els Tricolors FC Andorra
Andorra · Founded: 1942
FC Andorra is a professional football club based in Andorra la Vella, Andorra, founded in 1942. Despite being located in Andorra, the club has historically competed in the Spanish football league system since 1948, as it is affiliated with the Catalan Football Federation. This makes it a unique case in European football, as it plays outside its home country’s league structure.
The club is known by the nickname “Els Tricolors” due to its traditional colors—blue, yellow, and red—which reflect the Andorran flag. FC Andorra has experienced significant growth in recent years, especially after being acquired by a group led by former Spanish international footballer Gerard Piqué. Under this ownership, the club achieved promotion through the Spanish league system and established itself at a professional level.
FC Andorra plays its home matches in Encamp and continues to compete within the Spanish football pyramid. Although it does not participate in Andorran domestic competitions, the club remains one of the most historically important football institutions in the country and a key representative of Andorran football internationally.
