This week’s matches in the European football club competitions will honor the victims of the floods in Spain with a minute’s silence, the European football confederation Uefa announced on Monday.
Spain’s most destructive floods in decades are known to have claimed the lives of at least 217 people.
Most of the victims are from the Valencia region, where the floods caused the greatest destruction. Earlier, local authorities said that dozens of people were still missing in the flood-ravaged areas.
In the Spanish men’s premier league, La Liga, two matches were canceled over the weekend due to floods, including Valencia’s home match against Real Madrid.
A minute’s silence was held at the weekend’s Catalan derby between Barcelona and Espanyol, and Barcelona announced they would auction off the players’ jerseys to help flood victims.
