Celta Vigo postpones its La Liga season opener against Osasuna after a fungus outbreak is found on the Estadio de Balaidos pitch on Thursday.
The postponement follows the discovery of the contamination on the field, prompting match officials and venue staff to decide that play cannot proceed as scheduled. With the opener delayed, the fixture is expected to be rescheduled, though sources do not specify the new date in the information provided.
Both outlets frame the delay as a direct result of the condition of the stadium pitch, rather than any team-related issue. The focus is on the stadium environment and the need to address the fungal problem before the teams can play.
