A statement on the club’s social media account said: “Valencia CF deem this the most appropriate measure due to the terrible consequences of the #DANA weather phenomenon experienced in the Valencia region, recommendations to avoid travel and the cut-off in communication to Madrid.”
At least 95 people have died in eastern Spain after flash floods swept away cars, turned village streets into rivers and disrupted rail lines and major roads in the worst natural disaster to hit the nation in recent memory.
Rainstorms on Tuesday caused flooding in a wide swathe of southern and eastern Spain, stretching from Malaga to Valencia.
