Villarreal was scheduled to play Spain's 26th round of La Liga in the 2024-2025 season at Estadio de la Seramica in Villarreal, Spain, at 5 a.m. on the 4th (Korea time). The players from both teams arrived at the stadium for the game. Most of the home and away fans also entered the stadium.
But the kickoff whistle didn't go off. Government authorities recommended postponement of the game due to flood risk, and La Liga accepted it. Fans were bound to be furious. There were also boos.
In fact, there was already a weather forecast for heavy rain. The postponement of the game could have been judged earlier. However, according to Spain's 'Marca', fans only received news of the postponement through announcement after entering the stadium. The large screen of the stadium read 'Due to the weather warning, spectators are asked to safely leave the stadium following the instructions of security personnel.
Villarreal belatedly said on social media that the race supervisor has decided to postpone the race in line with safety recommendations for flood risks due to current weather conditions in Castejon province.
The port of commerce was tense. Fernando Loig, president of Villarreal, was seen calling from the stadium. However, there was no reversal of the decision.
Villarreal and Espanyol players did not play, but they appeared on the ground and thanked their home and away fans with applause. However, fans were forced to vent their anger. It was fortunate that the 'riot' did not occur.
Fans have been complaining on social media, such as 'I should have warned of a possible delay before I went to the stadium, which makes no sense', 'Let's see who will pay for my car's gas bill', 'Lend a free bus for all of us next time we go to Villarreal'.
