In a move prioritizing safety, La Liga has decided to postpone the match between Levante and Villarreal. This decision came after a red weather alert was issued for the Valencia area.
Key Details
- Original Schedule: Sunday evening

- Key Players: La Liga, Spanish Football Federation, Valencia City Council
The Valencia City Council played a key role in this decision, communicating directly with La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation to ensure the match was called off.
Impact on Villarreal
Villarreal, currently trailing Real Madrid by just one point, will have to wait to secure a spot in the top two.
Historical Context
This postponement is not an isolated incident. The Valencia region has a history of weather-related match delays:

While it might be disappointing for fans, safety always comes first. The new date for the match has not been announced yet, but it will be communicated soon.
