The first round of the Copa del Rey may be affected by inclement weather. Both Parla Escuela-Valencia and Pontevedra-Levante are at risk of being suspended due to the impossibility of the visiting teams to leave the Valencian Community because of the DANA that is hitting half of Spain. In fact, the ‘Ches’ have officially requested the postponement of the match.
Parla-Valencia and Pontevedra-Levante are at risk. The DANA that is hitting half of Spain, especially the south and east of the Iberian Peninsula, may cause the matches to be suspended.
Levante was due to leave on Tuesday night for Galicia by plane. However, said flight has been suspended due to the inclement weather caused by the DANA.
Levante sources explained that the team will not travel on the flight that was scheduled to take at 22:35 hours from the airport of Manises (Valencia) and the expedition is at the Ciutat de València waiting to know how and when it will travel to Galicia.
The Valencian club is now in talks with the RFEF to discuss the various options to play the first round of the Copa del Rey against Pontevedra, scheduled for 20.00 on Wednesday at Pasarón.
For its part, Valencia would have to travel on Wednesday morning to Madrid by train. However, Adif has decided to suspend train traffic between the two cities due to the rainstorm and the accumulation of water between Siete Aguas and Chiva.
Therefore, neither Levante nor Valencia, for the moment, can travel to their respective destinations. These could be the first matches postponed by the DANA that hits Spain. Pipo Baraja’s team have officially asked the RFEF to postpone the match due to the situation in the city.
