Futbol Club Andorra is a football club based in Andorra la Vella (Andorra), established in 1942. They play in the Spanish football league system. Most of the national team come from FC Andorra, which plays just across the border in the Catalonian group of the Spanish third division. The club has played in the Spanish championship's lower leagues since 1948. FC Andorra is an Andorran club, though. Goalkeeper "Koldo" (once with Real Madrid) is the big star of the team. Koldo has been honoured as the best Andorran football player in a competition arranged by UEFA. He became Andorran citizen by way of marriage as did team mate Lucendo who used to play with FC Barcelona. January 2007 Andorran football was saddened by the departure of international goalkeeper Koldo Álvarez, who left FC Andorra for Spanish third division side CF Balaguer. After thirteen years playing for the country's oldest club, the 36-year-old took up the chance to play in Spain until the end of the campaign. Koldo said: "The fact that the team belongs to a higher division than FC Andorra has tipped the scales." Koldo left the Basque Country to join FC Andorra in 1994.
