Real Madrid Match Postponed As Flash Floods Devastate Valencia Region In Spain
•By Our Reporter
LAGOS – The La Liga clash between defending champions Real Madrid and Valencia, initially set for Saturday, has been postponed due to severe flash floods that have struck Spain, particularly in the Valencia region.
The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced the suspension of all football fixtures in the area after torrential rains led to tragic loss, with at least 95 fatalities reported and dozens still unaccounted for.
The impact extends beyond Real Madrid’s match. Villarreal’s La Liga fixture against Rayo Vallecano has also been postponed, along with three Segunda division games: Castellon vs. RC Ferrol, CD Eldense vs. SD Huesca, and Malaga vs. Levante.
In Liga F, Spain’s women’s top-flight, Valencia’s game against Deportivo La Coruna and Real Madrid’s match with Levante are also on hold. Several Copa del Rey matches, including Valencia’s visit to Parla Escuela, had already been rescheduled.
The RFEF, following appeals from La Liga, Liga F, and the affected clubs, agreed to suspend all professional games in the region, prioritizing safety and honoring those affected by the floods.
To show solidarity, a minute’s silence will be observed across matches during the weekend in remembrance of those lost in this natural disaster.
