La Liga to inspect Celta Vigo’s pitch after fungus outbreak
La Liga officials are set to carry out a pitch inspection at Celta Vigo's Estadio de Balaidos following a suspected fungus outbreak.
La Liga officials are set to inspect the pitch at Celta Vigo's Estadio de Balaidos following a suspected fungus outbreak. The La Liga fixture between Celta Vigo and Osasuna is scheduled for Sunday night, with the match kicking off at 20:30 BST. The 24,870-capacity stadium in Vigo has been the site of Spain's national team friendly against Iraq in June, which took place ahead of their successful 2026 World Cup-winning campaign.
Recent reports suggest that the fungus infection has damaged the playing surface, leading Celta Vigo to request that the match be postponed. However, Osasuna remains open to playing the fixture as scheduled. The stadium has been under renovation for over a decade, with plans to increase its capacity to between 40,000 and 44,000 once the works are completed.
Three La Liga matches scheduled for the opening weekend have been rescheduled due to players involved in the World Cup final.
