Main Points
Ludo Clemente, who made his debut with FC Andorra’s first team in the 2003‑2004 season, is the club’s record holder for appearances. Over his career he played 415 matches and scored 65 goals, a tally that remains the highest in the club’s history. In addition to his footballing achievements, Clemente represented Andorra in futsal, beach volleyball and the 40 × 20 format of indoor football. Clemente’s transition to futsal began in the summer of 2009 when he was recruited by coach Xavier de la Rosa (known as Dela). At 23 years old he moved from amateur football to a professional futsal career after impressing in training sessions. “I went to train with them one day and Dela liked me. Moving from Primera Regional to Divisió de Plata was a huge step for me,” he recalled. He spent two seasons with the club, taking part in two promotion play‑offs to the top division. When he told teammate Richard Imbernón about the opportunity, the latter understood and kept the door open for future collaboration. Clemente’s international experience is extensive. He earned nearly 50 caps across the three sports, and competed in two futsal tournaments in Ireland and one in Spain. “Besides being an international in beach volleyball, I played everything,” he said. His early futsal days began at Pas de la Casa before he was signed by the football‑7 club Constel·lació. He described the professional futsal lifestyle as demanding, with early‑morning training, gym work and travel across Spain, but also rewarding: “I was welcomed warmly, and the salary improved.” During his time under Dela, Clemente played alongside goalkeepers Luis Marimón and Aitor Rubio, and teammates such as Moi Gonçalves, Cabinho, Paulinho, Carlinhos, Jona Pérez, Nuno Dias, Nacho Llamas, Jorge Dias and Javi Aramburu. The following season the team was coached by Jandro Álvarez, but Dela returned with players Sepe and Gordillo. In his third season he returned to FC Andorra’s football squad, and the futsal section was subsequently dissolved. “I had limited minutes because the professional level was very high, which made it difficult for me,” he explained. He also noted that a four‑year stint with Gerard Piqué had been part of his journey, though the exact nature of that relationship remains unclear. Reflecting on the shift from futsal to football, Clemente said, “It was a major change, but I don’t regret it. It’s part of the learning process.” He remains a respected figure in Andorran sport, remembered for his versatility and dedication across multiple disciplines. — Pau López: A New Signing for Girona Girona FC announced the signing of goalkeeper Pau López, who joined from Real Betis. López, who was born in Girona, will be available for the upcoming match against Girona on Sunday. “No one gives you a chance to play; you have to earn it,” he said. “Performance is what rewards you, and when things go well, that’s what matters most. Now I have to compete.” López believes that everyone gives their best when the team is performing well, and he is pleased that the club’s fortunes are improving. Article and image source: Bondia
