FC Andorra u19 will start this Sunday the league competition with the visit to AEM's field (Sunday, 11.45am). The tricolours make their debut in the third tier after the brilliant promotion achieved last season in a close fight with Balaguer that was not resolved until the penultimate day in the direct game between both teams.
The rivals
FC Andorra has been placed in group 3 of Preferent, the third tier of youth football, in a geographically quite heterogeneous group. And it is that Andorra, obviously the only team from the Principality, will mainly visit the province of Barcelona, but also Lleida and Tarragona.
Barcelona (10): Sant Just, San Mauro, Cerdanyola, Vilassar Mar, Terrassa, Mercantil, Joanenc, Sant Cugat, Sabadell Nord i Igualada.
Lleida (4): At. Segre, Balaguer, AEM i Lleida.
Tarragona (1): Reus.
Of the 16 teams, the champion will achieve mathematical promotion to Lliga Nacional as well as qualification for the Campionat de Catalunya, while the last four ranked (from 13th to 16th) will lose the category.
The squad
Goalkeepers: Àlex Jauregui, Ferran Fernández i Víctor Aroca
Defenders: Cerni Garcia, Lucas Lourenço, Dani Lima, Pau Miranda, Dani de Sa, Joel Moutinho, Fabio Cachada, Gerard Moliné i Albert Solanes.
Midfielders: Pere Simonet, Manel Anglada, Yèdid Santaella, Tomas Graça i Pau Mele.
Attackers: Haroun Dchar, Josep Contreras, Saul Fernandes, Abu Gràcia, César González, Adri Regalo i Imad Rami.
Coaching staff
The manager of last season's promotion, Filipe Busto, will remain in charge of the tricolour squad and will be accompanied by Jordi Saavedra, as assistant manager, and Julián Pedernara, who will be the goalkeeper coach, a job he will combine with his duties in the first team.
