The highly anticipated match between Guadalajara and FC Barcelona has been delayed by 30 minutes. Originally scheduled to kick off at 21:00, it will now start at 21:30 due to security concerns. The delay was confirmed by sources from the federation.
Reasons for the Delay
The postponement is linked to issues at the Pedro Escartín Stadium, which can accommodate 8,500 fans, particularly regarding access points. Currently, 2,000 tickets have been allocated for the supplementary stands, which are now in question.
Stadium Access Issues
- The city government needed to authorize entry because the seats in the supplementary stands were unnumbered.
- Local police and Civil Protection must also approve access to the venue.
Club’s Admission of Oversight
The president of Guadalajara acknowledged the club’s late submission of security requests to the city. He stated that they need to conduct necessary safety checks before proceeding with the match.
Fan Experience
Many fans began queuing at 15:00, enduring rain while waiting to enter the stadium. Despite the delay, club officials remain hopeful that fans will not face any issues in attending the match.
