Following the terrible flash floods in Spain, Real Madrid’s match against Valencia, which was originally planned for Saturday, has been 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 canceled.
Real Madrid vs. Levante and Valencia vs. Deportivo La Coruna are two of the Liga F, the women’s top division, games that have been postponed.
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 delayed.
In order to demonstrate Spanish football’s “solidarity for those affected, especially the relatives of those who have died in the natural disaster,” the RFEF said that a minute’s silence would be observed during the weekend’s games.
