The Catalan Football Federation has issued a significant penalty against Penya Blaugrana de Castellbisbal following crowd disturbances during a league match held on March 18.

The incidents occurred during a home game against Maurina Egara. The referee reported minor disturbances caused by local supporters, marking the third such offense for the Castellbisbal club this season.
The federation's ruling includes a one-point deduction in the league standings, an economic fine, and the requirement to play the upcoming match against Escola Pia behind closed doors. Additionally, the team has been removed from the fair play rankings.

"The punishment imposed is completely unfair, and we feel we are being blamed for something that does not define our squad."
