Barcelona have asked to postpone Sunday’s women’s football match against Real Madrid from 5:00pm to 7:00pm due to severe weather risks. The club stated this on their X account, suspending all activities at their facilities from 8:00pm on Saturday until 2:00pm on Sunday. This suspension includes games, training, and other events.
The women’s match at Spotify Camp Nou is still under consideration, with Barcelona consulting Liga F and the relevant competition authorities. "FC Barcelona has requested the match to start at 7.00pm, two hours later than initially planned," the club said. The club claims the delay will give the stadium time to be "fully operational" and meet safety standards.
It also aims to help spectators reach the stadium under challenging weather. A final decision will be made on Sunday morning based on the weather and authorities' instructions. Barcelona will inform fans of any updates via their official channels.
