BarcelonaThe storm arriving in Catalonia has caused the suspension of sports activities and "those involving travel to the regions affected by the Inuncat plan due to the intensity and risk of rain accumulation on the coast and the pre-coastal area", as reported by the Generalitat. The Second Division match between Sabadell and Andorra, scheduled for 6:30 PM, is one of the affected events. After hours of talks, the League finally agreed to postpone the match after speaking with both parties. The match will be played, pending official confirmation, this Sunday at 9 PM, coinciding with the Girona match. The Girona team plays at 9 PM against Mallorca, a match that is currently going ahead. Another affected football match is the Primera RFEF game between Sant Andreu and Antequera, scheduled for 8 PM at the Can Dragó field. The match will be played this Sunday at 5:30 PM.
One of the big highlights of Sunday's schedule will be the match between Barça and Madrid in the Liga F at the Camp Nou. The blue and garnet club has requested to postpone the match from 5 PM to 7 PM, a request that has been accepted by the corresponding authorities.
The suspension of the Liga Endesa match between Joventut de Badalona and MoraBanc has also been confirmed. The new time for the match will be Wednesday, October 14 at 8 p.m. On the other hand, the Kids&Manresa match against Rio Bregán at 9 p.m. has not been suspended, as the capital of the Bages region is not within the affected area.
The match between Noia Portus Apostoli and Barça, corresponding to the fourth round of the futsal league, has also seen its schedule modified as the Catalan club has been unable to travel to Galicia today. The match will finally be played this Sunday at 8:30 PM and not at 12:30 PM as initially scheduled, due to the cancellation of the blaugrana expedition's flight to Santiago de Compostela.
Swimming or equestrianism, among the sports affected
One of the numerous suspended activities is the European Open Water Swimming Cup event, which was to be held this Saturday at the port of Barcelona. The event, which was also set to be the 9th edition of the Ciutat de Barcelona International Trophy, was to take place at the Moll de Bosch i Alsina starting at 12:00 PM over the Olympic distance of 10 kilometers, with the participation of about 60 swimmers from eleven countries.
The forecast of adverse weather conditions has also modified the schedule of the CSIO Barcelona, the equestrian jumping tournament, which has decided to preventively modify the program planned for this weekend at the Reial Club de Polo de Barcelona. The German rider Marcus Ehning, riding ‘Stargold’, finally achieved victory in the Queen's Cup of show jumping, an event that had its schedule brought forward.
This morning, the Salomon Ultra Pirineu, a benchmark mountain race, was forced to cut its route from 100 km to 60 km to ensure the safety of spectators, runners, and volunteers.
