Valencia and Levante Copa del Rey matches will be suspended: reports

In a situation like this, football is the least important thing. In view of the serious situation in and around Valencia due to the DANA, ‘Mundo Deportivo’ publishes that the suspension of the matches of Levante and Valencia CF in this first round of the Copa del Rey will be announced.

Both were scheduled to compete on Wednesday. Valencia were due to travel to Madrid to face CP Parla Escuela and Levante were to travel to Galicia to face Pontevedra. However, the difficulties in leaving their locality and the tragedy that is being experienced prevented them from playing.

As explained by the aforementioned media, the RFEF's sole judge for competitions, Rafael Alonso, will determine the postponement of both matches because the situation demands it and because the Federation's General Regulations allow the suspension of matches as long as they are suspended. This allows matches to be suspended if there are "exceptional circumstances".

What is complicated is to know when it will be possible to play. A priori, the rules state that the match would have to be postponed to the day after the scheduled day. That is to say, to Thursday. However, everything will depend on the progress of the storms and the restoration of transport once the situation returns to normal.
