La Liga confirmed the postponement of Rayo Vallecano x Real Oviedo. In question, the conditions of the pitch due to bad weather.

Rayo Vallecano x Real Oviedo has been postponed. In an official statement, La Liga announced the decision to suspend the match on matchday 23 – which was scheduled for this Saturday, February 7th at 1pm – due to the bad weather that affected the condition of the field and the weather forecast for the next few hours.

«With the aim of guaranteeing the physical integrity of the players, La Liga decided to suspend the game of the 23rd round that was supposed to be played between Rayo Vallecano and Real Oviedo at the Vallecas Stadium this Saturday, February 7th, at 2 pm. The decision was taken after verifying that, at this moment, the field does not have the necessary guarantees to carry out the game in safe conditions»can be read in the official statement.

«It is important to highlight that Rayo Vallecano made significant efforts during this week, completely replacing the grass on the field, with the aim of ensuring that the game could be played normally. However, the adverse weather conditions during the execution of these works, as well as the weather forecasts for the next few hours, with continued rain, prevented the grass from reaching the necessary ideal state»continue with the explanation.

«Throughout this entire process, La Liga constantly monitored the maintenance and adaptation work on the pitch, working in coordination with the club and continuously monitoring the evolution of pitch conditions. Both the club and La Liga provided all the means at their disposal to try to exhaust all options for the match until the last moment. However, the evolution of the field’s condition and the weather forecast for today, with continuous rain, do not guarantee the integrity of the players, which is why it was considered necessary to suspend the game. In accordance with current regulations, a deadline will be established for the submission of proposals for a new date for holding the meeting»concludes the La Liga statement.
