Wilkes Barre Scranton Hazleton, PA, October 28, 2026 —
The Spanish national soccer federation has postponed 24 Copa del Rey games following a deadly train crash in central Spain. The postponements affect a substantial group of matches in the national cup competition, though the federation has not provided further details in the information available.
The number of games postponed is 24. The crash is described as deadly and as having occurred in central Spain. No date for the crash or the postponement announcement was provided, and the available information does not identify the affected teams, the venues, or the rounds involved.
The federation has not provided revised dates for the matches. It is also not clear from the information provided whether the games will be rescheduled together or on separate dates. The reason given for postponing them is the train crash; no additional explanation of the decision was included.
The announcement means the original schedule for those 24 Copa del Rey games will not proceed as planned. However, details about possible changes to other fixtures, ticket arrangements, or the broader competition calendar were not provided. The federation’s name beyond its description as Spain’s national soccer federation, and any statements from clubs or officials, were also not included.
For now, the confirmed information is limited to the postponement of 24 matches and its connection to the deadly crash in central Spain. Further information about the affected fixtures and replacement dates was not available.
