Football takes a back seat. The match between Cadiz and Almeria officially canceled

The Spanish Segunda match between Cadiz and Almeria, scheduled for Saturday, February 7, has been officially canceled due to adverse weather conditions. The decision was made at the direction of the Andalusian regional government and is linked to safety concerns amid a new wave of storms bringing strong winds and heavy rains.

La Liga announced the fixture will be rescheduled for tomorrow, February 8. On Saturday afternoon, yellow and orange weather alerts were in effect across the province, which also led to the cancellation of the Sevilla vs Girona match. The league emphasized that the initiative did not come from the tournament organizers, but from the authorities responsible for civil protection.
