La Liga postpones Valencia, Oviedo match due to severe weather alert

The La Liga match between Valencia and Oviedo, originally scheduled for September 29, 2025, has been postponed due to a severe weather warning and heavy rains leading to a red alert in the Valencia region. The decision was made by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and league officials after concerns for the safety of fans and staff, with the match rescheduled for either September 30 or October 1 if conditions improve. The Valencia mayor urged the RFEF to postpone the match amidst fears of chaos and a potential tourist nightmare caused by torrential rains. This postponement follows a history of severe weather impacting the region, including floods last year that resulted in over 200 deaths. Valencia currently sits 12th in the league, while Oviedo, newly promoted, is near the bottom of the standings. Authorities and clubs emphasize that safety takes precedence over the game as the city braces for worsening weather conditions.
