The Spanish Royal Football Federation (RFEF) officially suspended the Liga Prime Futsal fourth-round match between Noia Portus Apostoli and Barça after severe weather warnings and extreme storm risks across Catalonia forced flight cancellations at Barcelona–El Prat Airport. The fixture, initially scheduled for this Sunday at 12:30 local time (11:30 UTC), had faced a preliminary kickoff delay to 20:30 local time before the governing body intervened to postpone the contest entirely.
Storm Alerts Shut Down El Prat Airport Departures
Civil protection authorities activated emergency weather alerts across Catalonia due to hazardous storm conditions on Sunday. The resulting weather disruptions shut down scheduled afternoon departures at El Prat Airport, rendering it impossible for the visiting Barça squad to travel north to Galicia in time for the fixture.
RFEF Committee Mandates 48-Hour Rescheduling Window
Following the travel cancellations, the RFEF’s National Appeals Committee (Comité Nacional de Segunda Instancia) stepped in to officially decree the postponement under force majeure provisions. With the fixture shelved indefinitely for this weekend, league officials have placed the onus on the two competing clubs to find a workable alternative date. The committee has required both clubs to propose a date by mutual agreement within a period of 48 hours,
the RFEF stated in an official communication regarding the scheduling stalemate.
Next Steps for Noia and Barça
Club executives from Noia Portus Apostoli and Barça now face a strict two-day deadline to negotiate and submit a mutually agreed replacement date to the RFEF. Until the two clubs finalize their calendar compromise and receive governing body approval, the fourth-round fixture remains without a confirmed kickoff time.
