Villarreal’s La Liga meeting with Rayo Vallecano has also been called off, along with three games in the Segunda division – Castellon v RC Ferrol, CD Eldense against SD Huesca and Malaga’s visit to Levante.

in Liga F, the women’s top flight, Valencia’s match against Deportivo La Coruna and Real Madrid v Levante are among the postponed fixtures.

The RFEF had received requests from La Liga, Liga F and the clubs themselves to postpone all professional matches in the area after the flash floods.

Several Copa del Rey matches, including Valencia’s trip to Parla Escuela, had already been rescheduled.

The RFEF said a minute’s silence will be observed during the weekend’s games to show Spanish football’s “solidarity for those affected, especially the relatives of those who have died in the natural disaster.”
