Sevilla vs Girona Rescheduled to Sunday at 16:15
A match between Sevilla FC and Girona FC originally scheduled for 18:30 this Saturday has been rescheduled to Sunday at 16:15. The decision came due to severe weather conditions caused by Storm Marta.
Weather-Related Rescheduling
Sevilla FC had formally requested the postponement after a weather warning was issued for the entire province. The club emphasized the unnecessary risk posed to fans traveling from nearby areas to attend the match at Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
La Liga, the governing body for Spanish football, acknowledged the request. However, they stated that the responsibility for making the final decision rested with the Subdelegation of the Government. This agency has the authority to cancel matches based on safety concerns.
Chain of Responsibility
- Sevilla FC requested postponement due to Storm Marta.
- La Liga passed responsibility to the Subdelegation of the Government.
- The Subdelegation has previously suspended matches under similar conditions.
In a past incident, a match between Atlético Madrid and Sevilla on September 3, 2023, was also postponed by the Subdelegation.
Public Reaction
There has been frustration among Sevilla FC fans regarding the suspension of matches. Some fans recalled a recent instance where a game was suspended due to field conditions instead of weather safety.
The City Council of Seville also joined in, formally requesting the match’s suspension. Ultimately, the postponement was granted, and Sevilla will now face Girona at the revised time of 16:15 on Sunday.
Football fans are encouraged to stay updated on changes and safety protocols as the match approaches. For more updates, visit Filmogaz.com.
