Real Sociedad play Fenerbahçe tonight despite Toledo tragedy
While the RFEF postpones Copa del Rey matches after the Toledo train crash, the Europa League tie will go ahead at 19:00 in Zubieta.
Real Sociedad will take to the Zubieta pitch this evening to face Fenerbahçe in the Europa League, kicking off at 19:00. The game goes ahead despite this morning's train collision in the province of Toledo, which has killed at least 60 people, with the official toll still pending.
The Royal Spanish Football Federation has postponed all Copa del Rey matches scheduled for today as a sign of mourning. The Donostia club has said its tie will proceed as normal, subject to UEFA's guidelines, since the European body has not changed the schedule for the day's international fixtures.
The decision has caused unease and disbelief across much of Spanish football, which sees UEFA as lacking sensitivity on a day of national mourning. Mundo Deportivo notes it will be the only top-level match scheduled on Spanish soil today.
