In a startling turn of events, Valencia’s Copa del Rey match against Parla Escuela, scheduled for Wednesday in Madrid, has been postponed due to the devastating impact of storm Dana in eastern Valencia. The region has been battered by torrential rains and flooding, prompting authorities to advise against all non-essential travel as they grapple with the crisis.
According to sources close to the situation, Valencia submitted a formal request to the Spanish football federation (RFEF) to postpone the game, citing the severe consequences of the storm as the primary reason. The club emphasized that postponement was the most appropriate course of action given the grave circumstances affecting the province.
Storm Dana’s Deadly Toll
The decision comes in the wake of reports that the flooding has tragically claimed several lives in the region. Firefighters have been working tirelessly to rescue individuals trapped by the rising floodwaters, as storm Dana continues to wreak havoc.
An anonymous official from Valencia emphasized the severity of the situation, stating, “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.”
RFEF Confirms Postponement
On Wednesday, the RFEF released an official statement confirming that the Copa del Rey match had indeed been postponed. The federation acknowledged Valencia’s request and the extraordinary circumstances caused by the flooding in eastern Valencia.
