Spanish football postpones three cup matches following Jesús de Miguel's death

The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has postponed three domestic cup fixtures scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, following the death of CD Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel.

The affected matches are Anaitasuna vs Alaves and Pamplona vs Eibar in the Copa del Rey, as well as Celta Vigo vs Espanyol in the Copa de la Reina. All three fixtures have been called off as a mark of respect following the tragic passing of the 30-year-old forward.

De Miguel died on Tuesday morning after suffering a cardiac arrest following a collision with FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono during Monday's Segunda División match. The game was abandoned after the incident, and the striker was taken to hospital.

The RFEF expressed its condolences to De Miguel's family, friends, Tenerife and the club's supporters. The federation confirmed that new dates and kick-off times for the postponed matches will be announced in the coming days. It also cancelled the official presentation of Spain's Under-21 fixture against Japan.
