La
Liga fans might be having this weekend without a game due to the high intensity
of the heat wave, according to reports.
Spanish League president Javier Tebas is planning to postpone the coming game week
fixtures as he revealed that this intense heat can affect players’ health.
Tebas
told radio
Cope earlier today that “football cannot be played at 36 or 37 degrees
Celsius (96 or 98 Fahrenheit).”
The
weather forecasters have precdicted that the temperature will remain same in
the whole week, mid-30s Celsius (86 Fahrenheit).
Further
this issue might not postpone all the games, some games can be played at night
as there will be less effect of the heat.
The
highest temperature noted across Spain this week is 40 degrees Celsius (104
degrees Fahrenheit).
Furthermore,
referees have been told to allow players to drink as much water as they want to
avoid dehydration.
The
La Liga game week 3 brings Celta Vigo vs Atletico Madrid, Real
Madrid vs Osasuna, Barcelona vs
Alaves, Real Sociedad vs Espanyol and many more.
The
final decision is yet to be announced regarding these fixtures, whether they
all will be played at night or might be shifted to midweek.
