After the match between the S.D. Ejea and Hercules C.F. in Copa del Rey was suspended, due to the DANA in the province of Valencia, the party has been postponed again. The duel was scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, November 6, but the circumstances of this natural disaster have caused that the cup tie will finally take place next Wednesday, November 6. Thursday 14 at 6 p.m..
If those of the Cinco Villas had to wait another week to see their return to the Cup more than a decade later, now they are forced to hold off for another eight days. However, the reasons are more than justifiedafter the terrible catastrophe that has surrounded the Valencian Community this week. A situation that seems to be going to drag on for weeks and even months, given the little resources offered to the people and the accumulation of mud and material in the streets.
It has been the Spanish Football Federation who announced this Monday afternoon. “Due to the consequences caused by the DANA, several matches scheduled for this week in the First Round of the Copa de Su Majestad el Rey, the Third Round of the Copa de Su Majestad la Reina and the Third Round of the Copa del Rey de Fútbol Sala have had their schedules modified,” they said.
Other matches involving clubs from the same community, corresponding to the same round, have also been cancelled. These are the Pontevedra – Levante, Parla Escuela – Valencia, Manises – Getafe and Jove Español – Real Sociedad.. The first of them will be played the week after the ejeanos, the next two on Tuesday 26 and the last one is yet to be determined.
At the same time, this suspension has repercussions on the drawwhich was scheduled for this Friday, and consequently, in the dispute of the second elimination round of the national tournament. In addition, two matches of the Copa de la Reina and Copa del Rey de Fútbol Sala have been delayed.
