Similarly, Villarreal's home game against Rayo Vallecano has also been suspended following the catastrophic flash floods in eastern Spain.
La Liga requested the Spanish football federation (RFEF) to delay the matches for Valencia and Villarreal on Saturday, along with three second division fixtures involving teams from the impacted regions.
The RFEF stated, “It has been agreed to postpone matches that were to be played in professional and non-professional competitions, both in 11-a-side football and in indoor football (in the Valencia region).”
Previously, the federation had already postponed several midweek Copa del Rey first-round matches, including Valencia's encounter with Parla Escuela.
This weekend, a moment of silence will be observed for the victims of the floods during matches across Spain, including the Catalan derby between league leaders Barcelona and Espanyol on Sunday.
