La Liga to inspect Celta Vigo's pitch after fungus outbreak
La Liga officials are set to inspect the pitch at Celta Vigo's Estadio de Balaidos over a suspected fungus outbreak.
Celta Vigo's opening La Liga match against Osasuna has been postponed due to a fungal outbreak on their pitch at Estadio de Balaidos. The game, originally scheduled for Sunday, August 16, at 20:30 BST, has now been moved to Thursday, August 27, at 19:30 BST. La Liga officials conducted a pitch inspection on Wednesday following the outbreak, which was exacerbated by weather conditions in Vigo.
Osasuna has expressed strong disagreement with La Liga's decision, citing the adverse impact on their team and fans. The club and its supporters had agreed to play the match in September during the international break. Both teams entered the match under the assumption that the pitch would be in good condition.
