  • Valencia cited recommendations from the National Police and the Government Delegation, saying it prioritized the safety of supporters and staff.
  • The Government Delegation held meetings with the club, and delegate Pilar Bernabé said the advice was to play without spectators while noting the final call was the club’s.
