La Liga made a request to the RFEF to delay Valencia and Villarreal’s matches scheduled for Saturday, along with three second-division games involving clubs from the affected areas.

The RFEF confirmed in a statement that competitions at all levels, including 11-a-side and indoor football, would be postponed in the Valencia region.

Earlier in the week, the federation had also suspended several Copa del Rey first-round matches, including Valencia’s game against Parla Escuela, due to the catastrophic flooding.

As a tribute, a moment of silence will be observed during La Liga matches this weekend, including the Catalan derby between Barcelona and Espanyol.
