Real Madrid’s LaLiga match with Valencia postponed due to deadly floods | Football news

The Spanish Football Federation adjusted this week’s LaLiga schedule in response to the disaster.

Real Madrid’s away game at Valencia this weekend has been postponed by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) due to floods that have killed more than 95 people.

Villarreal’s home game against Rayo Vallecano was also called off after flooding in eastern Spain.

LaLiga asked the RFEF to postpone Saturday’s matches against Valencia and Villarreal, as well as three second division matches involving teams from the affected areas.

“It has been agreed to postpone matches that were to be played in professional and non-professional competitions, both in 11 and futsal (in the Valencia region),” the RFEF said in a statement on Thursday.

The federation has already postponed several matches in the first round of the Copa del Rey, including Valencia’s match against Parla Escuela.

A moment of silence for flood victims will be held at this weekend’s matches in Spain, including league leaders Barcelona’s Catalan derby against Espanyol on Sunday.
