The League has suspended Sevilla-Girona after the request of the Andalusian team, which alludes to the effects of Storm Marta and fears that it will pose an added risk for its fans if they travel to the match. The meeting was scheduled for 6:30 p.m. this Saturday. Seville, at the same time, asked the Junta of Andalusia and the Government Subdelegation, the bodies responsible for Emergencies and Security in the Andalusian capital, to request the suspension of the match from the League due to the dangerous situation that affected many of its fans, who travel from different parts of the province of Seville. The game will be played this Sunday at 4:15 p.m.

In this case, it is not a problem with the playing field, because the Sánchez Pizjuán grass has excellent drainage and was holding up well to the persistent rains that have been falling on Seville and its entire province, as well as all of Andalusia, since early in the morning. Seville is under orange warning from the AEMT until 5:00 p.m. and will be in yellow at the time of the clash. The League has agreed despite the fact that it only suspends matches due to weather Red Alert warnings.
There are now two matches that have been suspended on this 22nd round of the First Division after the duel between Rayo Vallecano and Oviedo was also not played. In this case, however, more than the rains, the cause that led to the suspension of the match is the poor state of the pitch and the facilities of the Vallecano stadium. The League has also suspended Cádiz-Almería, from the Second Division, scheduled for 9:00 p.m. It will also be played today at 4:15 p.m.
