LA LIGA: MATCH BETWEEN VALENCIA AND REAL MADRID POSTPONED DUE TO DEVASTATING FLOODS
The Spanish football federation postponed Real Madrid’s La Liga away fixture against Valencia this weekend on Thursday owing to floods that killed more than 95 people.
Villarreal’s home match against Rayo Vallecano was also called off due to the disastrous flash floods in eastern Spain.
La Liga has requested that Valencia and Villarreal’s matches on Saturday be postponed, as well as three second division games featuring teams from affected areas.
“It has been agreed to postpone matches that were to be played in professional and non-professional competitions, both in 11-a-side football and in indoor football (in the Valencia region),” according to a statement issued by the RFEF.
The federation had already postponed several midweek Copa del Rey first round fixtures, including Valencia’s meeting against Parla Escuela.
A moment of respect for flood victims will be observed at all Spanish matches this weekend, including league leaders Barcelona’s Catalan derby against Espanyol.
