The Segunda Division fixture between Granada and Tenerife, originally scheduled for this weekend, has been officially postponed. The decision comes as the region continues to grapple with the devastating effects of the severe weather phenomenon known as DANA. Authorities and league officials determined that proceeding with the match would be inappropriate given the current humanitarian crisis and the widespread disruption across the affected areas.
In a statement released by the club, officials confirmed, “This weekend’s Granada-Tenerife match postponed” as a direct result of the ongoing emergency situation. The Spanish Football Federation and La Liga have been working in coordination with local government agencies to assess the viability of sporting events across the country. Safety remains the primary concern for all players, staff, and traveling supporters during this period of extreme instability.
The storm has caused significant infrastructure damage and flooding, leading to the suspension of various public activities and transportation services. Consequently, scheduling a major sporting event in these conditions posed logistical challenges and safety risks that the organizers were unwilling to accept. The league has expressed its solidarity with those impacted by the tragedy, noting that the priority must remain on recovery efforts and the well-being of the local communities.
At this time, neither the league nor the clubs have announced a rescheduled date for the contest. Officials have indicated that a new date will be determined once the situation stabilizes and the calendar allows for the safe resumption of play. Supporters who had already purchased tickets are advised to retain them, as further information regarding refunds or valid entry for the rescheduled fixture will be provided through official club channels in the coming days.
This postponement adds to a growing list of sporting events across Spain that have been halted due to the extreme weather conditions. As the nation continues to monitor the impact of the storm, the football community remains focused on supporting the relief efforts currently underway in the most severely affected regions.
