The Real Federación Española de Fútbol has sanctioned CE Sabadell with 4,100 euros and a partial closure of Nova Creu Alta following incidents during the promotion final.

The disciplinary judge of the RFEF issued these measures following the pitch invasion that occurred on June 19, during the match against Zamora CF. According to the resolution, the sanctions address the disruption of order, lack of security measures, and repeat offenses.
The pitch invasion, which forced a ten-minute stoppage, resulted in a 3,500-euro fine and a partial closure of the facilities. Additionally, a 600-euro fine was imposed for activating sprinklers in the visiting team's warm-up area.
The club is considering requesting to play the first matches of the season away from home, taking advantage of planned improvements to the pitch and drainage system. Meanwhile, the allegations submitted by Zamora CF, which sought more drastic measures such as relegation or match annulment, were dismissed by the federation.
