Spanish club questions referee decision
The Spanish club Peña Deportiva responded humorously to weather conditions after posting a clip showing the referee of a match against Ocaña Moresia testing the pitch flooded with water due to heavy rain on Ibiza Island. The video shows the ball floating on the water instead of bouncing normally. According to FIFA (IFAB) rules, the referee has the final say on the pitch's suitability, which they determine through ball roll and bounce tests, prioritizing players' safety. If heavy rain occurs before the match starts, it is declared postponed; if it happens during play, the match is temporarily suspended or canceled if the obstacle persists. Due to flooding and security warnings, the scheduled game was delayed and rescheduled after an initial postponement.
