Valencia’s highly anticipated La Liga match against Real Oviedo has been postponed due to a red alert issued for heavy rains in the eastern Valencia region. The Spanish football federation (RFEF) announced the decision under five hours before the scheduled kick-off time, citing safety concerns. The match, initially set for Monday, September 29, at 1900 GMT, will now take place on Tuesday, September 30, at 2000 CET (1800 GMT), provided the weather conditions improve.
The Valencia region has been placed under a red alert by Spain’s meteorological agency, warning of torrential rain that could lead to severe disruptions. This decision comes as a precautionary measure to ensure player and spectator safety, especially considering the catastrophic flooding that occurred in the Valencia region last October, resulting in over 200 deaths and widespread destruction.
The rescheduled match will take place at the Mestalla stadium, home to Valencia CF, where fans are eagerly awaiting the team’s performance against Real Oviedo. Given the weather forecast, there is hope that the conditions will improve by Tuesday, allowing the match to proceed without any further disruptions.
