Valencia have had their request to postpone Wednesday’s Copa del Rey game against Parla Escuela in Madrid accepted by Spain’s football federation (RFEF) after floods in the south-east of the country killed several people and authorities advised against all non-essential travel.
Weather agency AEMET declared a red alert in eastern Valencia on Tuesday as firefighters rescued people trapped in floodwaters due to storm Dana.
“The club considers that [postponement] is the most appropriate measure due to the serious consequences of Dana that we are experiencing in the province of Valencia,” the LaLiga side posted on X on Tuesday.
The RFEF shared a statement later on Wednesday confirming that the game had been postponed.
Valencia, who are bottom of the league, are scheduled to host Real Madrid on Saturday.
