The case of Jesús De Miguel continues to be a major concern in Spanish soccer, with the country’s soccer federation now called upon to decide the fate of Jesús Ovono. The Andorra goalkeeper faces two possible disciplinary scenarios, according to a report by the radio station “Cadena Cope.”
As mentioned on the station’s program, the Spanish Football Federation is considering imposing a 15-match suspension on the 25-year-old goalkeeper. There is, however, an even more severe possibility: the revocation of his license to play professionally.

Such a development would obviously have much greater consequences for Ovono’s future, as it could sideline him from competitive play both at the club level and with the Equatorial Guinea national team.
The tragedy occurred on November 3, during stoppage time of the match between Tenerife and Andorra. The collision between Obono and De Miguel resulted in the latter suffering a cardiac arrest and losing his life at the age of 30.
The RFEF’s decision pertains exclusively to the disciplinary aspect of the case. The possibility of holding the goalkeeper criminally liable is a separate matter, which will be examined by the competent judicial authorities.
