Tragedy in Spain: All Copa del Rey matches postponed

The Royal Spanish Football Federation has postponed all Copa del Rey matches scheduled for Wednesday following a tragic rail disaster that occurred this morning on the Madrid-Andalusia line. A violent collision between two trains resulted in dozens of fatalities, leaving Thursday's fixtures in doubt.

In the wake of the tragedy, tributes quickly poured in from across Spanish football, from La Liga clubs to the lower divisions. Sevilla observed a minute's silence prior to their first-team training session "in memory of the victims of the tragic rail accident," and chose to cancel Luis García Plaza's pre-match press conference ahead of Thursday's scheduled clash against Sporting Hortaleza.

Meanwhile, Real Betis—who were set to play Navalcarnero on Wednesday evening—expressed their "deepest sorrow following the train accident this morning in the province of Toledo" and conveyed "heartfelt condolences and solidarity to the families and friends of the victims," while wishing "a full and speedy recovery to all those injured."
