The LaLiga match between Villarreal and Espanyol, scheduled to take place on Monday night at the Estadio de la Cerámica, has been postponed due to a weather alert in the province of Castellón. The decision was made after the Centro de Coordinación de Emergencias de la Generalitat Valenciana declared an Emergencia situación 0, alerting of potential floods caused by heavy rains in the area. The match was initially scheduled to start at 21:00 Spanish time, but after a meeting between representatives of both clubs and the referee, José Luis Munuera Montero, it was decided to suspend the match.

The Villarreal club explained that the decision to suspend the match was made "with motive of the security recommendations due to the risk of inundations as a consequence of the current DANA situated in Castellón". The club also informed that it was the Juez de Competiciones Profesionales who decided the postponement of the match. On the other hand, the Espanyol club stated on social media that the suspension was decided based on the "recommendations of the AEMET". The match will be rescheduled for a new date, which has not been determined yet.

The weather alert has caused several roads in the province of Castellón to be closed, and the Generalitat Valenciana has recommended the suspension of outdoor activities, as well as school and educational activities, until the emergency situation is resolved. The LaLiga organization is working to determine a new date and time for the match. The postponement of the match has been a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of all parties involved.

Here are the details of the postponed match:

• Match: Villarreal vs Espanyol
• Original date: Monday
• Original time: 21:00 Spanish time
• New date: To be determined
• New time: To be determined

The postponement of the match has been a disappointment for the fans, especially those who had traveled to the Estadio de la Cerámica to watch the match. However, the safety of all parties involved is the top priority, and the decision to suspend the match was necessary to avoid any potential risks. The fans will have to wait for the new date and time of the match to be announced, and they will be able to enjoy the match once it is rescheduled.
