Celta Vigo's La Liga season-opening match against Osasuna on Sunday has been postponed after a fungal outbreak damaged the pitch at Estadio de Balaidos. The Spanish club announced the decision on Thursday, following a technical inspection by La Liga. The inspection found that a fungal outbreak had ruined the playing surface and that recent adverse weather had hindered recovery efforts, rendering the turf unfit for football. The fixture was postponed by agreement between both clubs and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), and has been rescheduled for August 27, Sportstar reports.
