LaLiga clubs pledge for victims of Spain's floods
LaLiga and its clubs will help raise funds for the Red Cross to support those affected by the flash floods which have killed at least 158 people in Spain.
The league aims to raise the money by publicising a campaign during match broadcasts this weekend and through its social media accounts.
After the Spanish FA postponed seven midweek cup ties and all games scheduled for Valencia's eastern region this weekend, it asked competition organisers to observe a minute's silence before matches that will be played as a tribute to the victims.
"Spain's professional football joins the condolences and expresses its solidarity with the families of the victims and the missing," a LaLiga statement read.
Real Madrid announced it would also collaborate with the Red Cross and donate €1 million ($1.65 million).
"The Real Madrid Foundation and the Red Cross have today launched a fundraising campaign to support those affected by the storm and the club have decided to support this campaign with a donation of one million euros to help the many families who are in a critical situation and need all our help and solidarity," a statement from the club read.
Six postponed Copa del Rey games have been rescheduled for next week, leaving Real Sociedad's match against Jove Espanyol in Alicante as the only tie without a new fixture date.
LaLiga asked the 10 affected clubs in the top two divisions to submit a proposal for new dates before next Tuesday.
The LaLiga match between Valencia and visitors Real Madrid plus Villarreal's clash with Rayo Vallecano are among the games postponed, as Valencia made its Mestalla Stadium available as a drop-off point for donations of food and essential items.
