Today’s match between Valencia and Real Madrid has been postponed, due to devastating flash floods that killed over 95 people and dozens more missing after torrential rain.
The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) confirmed this development in a statement on Thursday.
“It has been agreed to postpone matches that were to be played in professional and non-professional competitions, both in 11-a-side football and in indoor football (in the Valencia region),” the RFEF said in a statement.
The RFEF had received requests from La Liga, Liga F and the clubs to postpone all professional matches in the area after the flash floods.
Several Copa del Rey matches, including Valencia ‘s trip to Parla Escuela, has 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.”
