Real Madrid’s away match against Valencia in La Liga this weekend has been postponed by the Spanish football federation on Thursday due to severe floods in eastern Spain, which have claimed more than 95 lives.

Villarreal’s home game against Rayo Vallecano has also been suspended, following the devastating flash floods affecting the region.

La Liga requested that the Spanish football federation (RFEF) postpone both Valencia and Villarreal’s Saturday matches, as well as three second-division games involving teams from impacted areas.

“In professional and non-professional competitions, both 11-a-side and indoor football (in the Valencia region), matches have been agreed to be postponed,” read an RFEF statement.

In solidarity with the victims, a moment of silence will be observed across all matches in Spain this weekend, including league leaders Barcelona’s Catalan derby against Espanyol on Sunday.
