Two La Liga matches have been postponed due to adverse weather conditions brought on by a storm named 'Marta'. The match between Rayo Vallecano and Oviedo was initially called off because the pitch at Vallecas was deemed unplayable. Despite efforts by Rayo to address the issues with the pitch in the days leading up to the match, the worsening weather conditions ultimately led to the decision to protect the players' safety.

Shortly after the announcement of the Rayo Vallecano match's postponement, the match between Sevilla and Girona was also postponed for similar reasons related to the severe weather in the region. As a result, the 23rd match week of La Liga will see a significant reduction in scheduled games, with some teams unable to compete due to these unexpected weather challenges. This situation highlights the impact of extreme weather on sporting events as well as the league's commitment to player safety.

The postponements not only disrupt the scheduling of the matches but also affect the teams involved in terms of preparation, momentum, and potential impacts on league standings. As the winter season continues, sports organizations may need to prepare for similar challenges in the future as extreme weather events become more frequent, thereby necessitating adjustments in scheduling and logistics.
