The much-anticipated USL Championship match between El Paso Locomotive FC and San Antonio FC, initially set for October 9, has been officially postponed.
ESPN confirmed that the decision was made due to concerns over extreme weather conditions affecting the region. A severe thunderstorm warning, coupled with potential flash flooding, made it unsafe for players, staff, and fans to proceed with the game.
Both clubs have released statements expressing their disappointment but emphasizing the importance of prioritizing the safety of everyone involved. Fans who had already purchased tickets for the event will be able to use them for the rescheduled match, which is expected to be announced in the coming days.
This fixture holds significant importance for both teams as they vie for key points heading into the closing stages of the season. El Paso Locomotive currently sits in a strong position in the Western Conference standings, while San Antonio FC is pushing for a higher playoff seed. The postponement will no doubt add more anticipation to the eventual clash. Stay tuned for updates on when the match will be rescheduled.
