⛈️ No football in Valencia, Levante v Villarreal postponed due to the storm | OneFootball

The LALIGA EA Sports matchday fixture that was set to feature Levante UD and Villarreal CF this Sunday at 18:30 has been officially suspended.

The decision was made due to the red alert for extreme rainfall declared in the city of Valencia and its metropolitan area, prioritizing the safety of all attendees.

The suspension of the regional derby comes after a risk assessment and consensus among the main parties involved. Both the Competition Judge, LaLiga, and the affected clubs have participated in making this decision, putting the health of fans, players, and all staff working at the Ciutat de València first.

The severe weather has forced the postponement of the much-anticipated clash between the Granotas and the Yellow Submarine. The adverse meteorological conditions make it impossible to guarantee the normal development of the match and, most crucially, the safe travel of thousands of people to and from the stadium.

So far, no new official date has been announced for this fixture. The match will need to be rescheduled in the league calendar, which could pose a challenge due to the tight schedules of both teams.
