La Liga champions Real Madrid’s match against Valencia, originally set for Saturday, has been postponed due to severe flash floods in Spain.
The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced the postponement of all matches in the Valencia region, where at least 95 people have lost their lives and many others are missing as a result of the torrential rains.
Additionally, Villarreal’s La Liga fixture against Rayo Vallecano has also been canceled, along with three Segunda Division matches: Castellon vs. RC Ferrol, CD Eldense vs. SD Huesca, and Malaga’s game against Levante.
In Liga F, the women’s top division, fixtures such as Valencia’s match against Deportivo La Coruna and Real Madrid’s clash with Levante have been postponed as well.
The RFEF acted on requests from La Liga, Liga F, and the clubs to postpone all professional matches in the affected area following the flooding.
Several Copa del Rey matches, including Valencia’s trip to Parla Escuela, have already been rescheduled.
The RFEF said a minute’s silence will be observed during the weekend’s games to show Spanish football’s “solidarity for those affected, especially the relatives of those who have died in the natural disaster”.
