Sports Event Suspended Due to Adverse Weather Conditions in Donosti

The women’s football match between Real Sociedad and Real Madrid, part of the 11th round of Liga F, has been suspended due to adverse weather conditions in Donosti, Spain. Originally scheduled for 14:00 CET at the Zubieta facilities, the decision to postpone the match was made after thorough assessments.

The decision to suspend the game was concluded following discussions between the match director of Liga F and representatives from both teams, prioritizing the safety of players and spectators. This move comes as Donosti is under an orange alert due to strong winds.

Real Sociedad, under the guidance of coach José Luis Sánchez Vera, was looking to capitalize on their current form, having just secured a 1-0 victory in the Basque derby against Athletic Club. The team currently sits in the fourth spot in Liga F with 19 points.

Real Madrid, managed by Alberto Toril, arrived at this match fixture in third position with 22 points and one less match played. They were seeking to continue their good run after a significant 2-3 victory over Twente in the Champions League, which secured them a place in the quarter-finals.

Real Sociedad’s defender Manuela Vanegas was expected to form a key part of the team’s lineup, having recently returned from a cardiac study. Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s forward Signe Bruun, a vital player in their recent European success, was also part of the starting squad.

Prior to the suspension, both teams released their lineup. Real Sociedad maintained continuity with their lineup that defeated Athletic Club, while Real Madrid made slight adjustments following their Champions League encounter.

This unexpected postponement highlights the challenges teams can face with weather-related disruptions, yet both teams remain hopeful of rescheduling the match soon.
