Atlètic Lleida will not be able to debut at home on September 6th due to works at Camp d’Esports caused by legionella presence.

Atlètic Lleida has officially received the report from the Paeria confirming the impossibility of playing at the Camp d’Esports on September 6th. The reason is the necessary works due to the presence of legionella in the facilities.
The Lleida-based club has already initiated proceedings with the Catalan Football Federation and its first opponent, Cornellà, to reschedule the match and start the 26/27 season in Tercera Federación playing away. Another option considered was debuting at the Ramon Farrús.
Furthermore, the last pre-season match, scheduled against Tudelano on Sunday, August 30th, at Camp d’Esports, will be moved to the Estadi Santos Justo i Pastor in Fustiñana (Navarre) at 7:00 PM.
Before that, the team managed by Juan Carlos Beltrán will face Ejea this Wednesday in Aragon, also at 7:00 PM, in the penultimate preparation friendly.
The Lleida team will have to wait and agree on an alternative with the Catalan Football Federation and Cornellà to start the domestic competition in another Lleida venue or in Cornellà.
