Celta Vigo’s La Liga Opener Postponed Due to Fungal Outbreak on Estadio de Balaídos Pitch
Celta Vigo’s opening La Liga fixture against Osasuna has been postponed due to a fungal outbreak affecting the Estadio de Balaídos pitch. A joint decision by the clubs and the Spanish Football Federation was made after an inspection found the turf to be unfit for play.
The fungal infection, compounded by poor weather, has left the playing surface in an unacceptable condition for the scheduled Sunday match.
