Valencia floods result in cancellation of Real Madrid game in the La Liga this weekend.
Valencia floods have resulted in La Liga champions Real Madrid’s match against Valencia to be postponed.
All games in the Valencia region, where heavy rain has left at least 95 people dead and many more missing, have been postponed by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).
Along with three games in the Segunda division—Castellon vs. RC Ferrol, CD Eldense vs. SD Huesca, and Malaga’s trip to Levante—Villarreal’s La Liga matchup with Rayo Vallecano has also been cancelled.
Among the postponed games in Liga F, the women’s top division, are Real Madrid vs. Levante and Valencia vs. Deportivo La Coruna.
Following the flash floods, La Liga, Liga F, and the clubs themselves requested that the RFEF postpone all professional matches in the region.
Valencia’s trip to Parla Escuela was one of several Copa del Rey games that had already been postponed.
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”.
