The league match between Sevilla and Girona FC, scheduled for this Saturday at 6 PM at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium, has been suspended due to the arrival of Storm Marta.

The suspension was confirmed after the Andalusian club requested the postponement from La Liga, following recommendations from local authorities to avoid travel due to heavy rains and the risk of flooding in the regional capital.
The fixture was set to take place at Sevilla's home ground, the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, this Saturday at 6 PM. Although the area was not under a red alert, La Liga deemed it prudent to accept the request to ensure the safety of fans and teams.

For the moment, the possibility remains that the match will be played this Sunday, but the final decision will depend on the evolution of the storm and the weather conditions in Seville.

Storm Marta has caused concern for the Junta de Andalucía and the Seville City Council, which issued clear instructions to minimize the risks associated with intense rainfall and prevent unnecessary movement.
