This is the second time in the week that Girona has attempted to change the match schedule, arguing that the heat forecasts could pose a risk to the health of both players and fans.

LaLiga has justified its decision based on the forecasted temperature at the start of the match being 32 degrees, decreasing to less than 30 by the end. The club association argues that these conditions are common at this time of year and that similar matches have already been played in previous seasons and even in these early rounds.

Despite the refusal, Girona has announced a series of measures to minimize risks. The club has acquired 4,000 additional caps to the 4,000 provided by LaLiga, and free water will be distributed to fans located in sunny areas. Additionally, three extra bars will be installed for beverage sales. The club has called on its fans to act with caution and take care of the most vulnerable.
