Celta Vigo’s season-opening LaLiga match against Osasuna has been postponed after a ‌fungal outbreak affected the pitch at Estadio de Balaidos, the Spanish club said on Thursday.

Celta had been due to host Osasuna on Sunday, but the ⁠fixture was postponed with the decision agreed by both clubs and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) following a technical inspection by LaLiga.

The inspection found a fungal outbreak had damaged the Balaidos playing surface, while adverse weather conditions had undermined recent progress ‌in ⁠its recovery, leaving the pitch unfit for use.

“LaLiga, in coordination with both clubs and the RFEF, agreed to postpone the match between ⁠Celta and CA Osasuna scheduled for next Sunday at Abanca Balaidos due to a problem affecting ⁠the stadium’s turf, which is currently unfit for football,” the league said ⁠in a statement.

The match has been rescheduled for August 27.
