Overview
- Pontevedra CF confirmed it will play its Primera Federación home match versus Arenas at Baltar in Portonovo on Saturday, September 5, after an RFEF inspector found the recently renewed Pasarón pitch had not rooted properly following heavy rain.
- The club said season‑ticket holders may enter Baltar free by showing their 2026/27 card, no general tickets will be sold because of limited capacity, and four buses will run from Pontevedra for supporters who need transport.
- Officials described the move as an exceptional, technical decision to protect the new turf and said the pitch will be rechecked so a possible return to Pasarón can be assessed for the following home date on September 12.
- A full domestic weekend schedule across Spain and Argentina is proceeding with kickoff times and broadcast plans published, including Boca v Gimnasia de Mendoza (ESPN Premium), San Lorenzo v Talleres (TNT Sports) and Barcelona v Valencia (DSports/Movistar+).
- Two notable player developments affected matchday lineups: Enzo Fernández was drafted into Manchester City’s starting XI at the last minute after a teammate injured himself in the warm‑up, and Julián Álvarez returned as a second‑half substitute in Atlético Madrid’s 3-0 loss to Athletic Club.
