Spanish players seek match postponements over Jesús de Miguel’s death.

Spanish footballers have called for all weekend matches to be postponed following the death of Tenerife player, Jesús de Miguel, citing no suitable psychological or emotional conditions for games to continue. The Spanish footballers’ union, AFE, made the request on X, stating that players across all divisions were unanimous in their call to suspend the fixtures out of respect for the late footballer.

Several midweek cup matches have already been postponed, but Spanish clubs participating in European competitions played their matches this week, with a minute’s silence observed at all games in his memory.
