Celta's LaLiga opener against Osasuna postponed due to fungus on pitch

The LaLiga season opener between Celta Vigo and Osasuna scheduled for Sunday has been postponed due to a fungal outbreak impacting the pitch at Estadio de Balaidos, as reported on Thursday by Celta Vigo. The fixture, originally set for Sunday, was postponed following a technical inspection by LaLiga, which discovered the fungal damage alongside weather-related deterioration of the pitch.

LaLiga, alongside the Spanish clubs and the RFEF, agreed to postpone the match due to the unfit condition of the pitch, with the rescheduled date set for August 27.
