LaLiga reject Las Palmas' request to suspend their match with Huesca due to fires on Gran Canaria LaLiga Match to go ahead as planned

Las Palmas have asked LaLiga to suspend their home match against Huesca due to fires on the island of Gran Canaria.

Fire has ravaged the Spanish island in the last week and is still affecting the Valleseco, Moya, Artenara, Tejeda, San Mateo and Agaete areas.

However, Cadena Cope have reported that LaLiga have rejected the request and have asked for the game to go ahead as scheduled at 19:00 CEST on Sunday.

Las Palmas have made it clear that none of the security forces from the stadium would be relocated to help with the fire.

"I was left in no doubt that Huesca wouldn't have had any problem with suspending the game," Las Palmas president Miguel Angel Ramirez said.

"The logical thing was to suspend [the match], but LaLiga have asked it to be played.

"It's quite a unique situation for all Gran Canarians, this is really painful for us morally and sentimentally."
