Five of seven Copa del Rey matches have been postponed again by the Spanish football federation (RFEF) on Monday after Spain's worst flash floods in modern history killed at least 217 people in the Valencia region, with dozens still unaccounted for.

Several clubs from Valencia requested a second postponement of their matches from the RFEF, which announced new schedules on Monday after accepting these requests. Ejea are set to host Hercules de Alicante on Nov. 14. Levante will play Pontevedra in Pasaron on Nov. 19, as proposed in their statement. Manises and Getafe will play on Nov. 26, which is also the date for Parla Escuela v Valencia.
Real Madrid's visit to Valencia on Saturday was one of the several LaLiga games postponed. Real manager Carlo Ancelotti said on Monday it was nonsense that in other places of the country the competitions continued as expected and argued that there was no enthusiasm in Spain to play football at the moment.
