Practically all the regional football matches this weekend with Girona representation have been rescheduled so as not to coincide, tomorrow at four in the afternoon (4:00 p.m.), with the final of the World Cup in Qatar between the teams of France and the ‘Argentina. The day and time that the final of the World Championship is played usually coincides with a large part of the amateur football matches. Most clubs have agreed to advance the matches on Sunday morning itself or today Saturday. It has happened with almost all the men’s and women’s First and Fourth Catalan leagues. Less in some. One of the matches that will coincide with the grand final between the teams of Kylian Mbappé and Leo Messi is UE Cadaqués-AE Roses B, in group 30 of Quarta Catalana. The match at the Sa Guarda de Cadaqués field between Ismael Vila’s men and Juan Diego Herrera’s men will start at 2/4 of 5 (4:30 p.m.), half an hour after the start of the World Cup final. Meanwhile, in group 16 of Tercera Catalana, Bellcaire and Mont-ras will be playing for an hour because their match will start at 2/4 of 4 (15:30). In the same group, the Alt Empordà Peralada-Monells match has been postponed directly because Manel Cabezos’ team did not have an alternative schedule in the Peralada field other than tomorrow afternoon. Also in Tercera Catalana (Group 18), the duel between Santa Pau and Les Preses (17:00) falls well into the World Cup semi-finals tomorrow. At the same time, Caldes de Malavella must travel to Batllòria to play their match (17:00) in group 28 of Quarta Catalana.
For its part, the duel between Recreativo de Marca-Fortià, initially scheduled for tomorrow at four in the afternoon in Vilabertran (4:00 p.m.), was planned to be rescheduled for today or another date agreed between the clubs .
So, only eight teams from the demarcation (and their supporters) will be left without seeing the great final of the World Cup between Argentina and France. A scenario that many clubs certainly do not want is for the match to go to extra time or penalties. If this happens, then the clubs that have fixed the schedule of their games from six or quarter past seven will be stronger, and will be left without being able to see the decisive minutes because they will have to jump onto the field of play. If so, it will be necessary to see if the teams agree to finish watching the outcome of the grand final or start playing with extra time or penalties in a dance.
