Spain’s Royal Spanish Football Federation postponed all 24 Copa del Rey matches scheduled for Wednesday as a mark of respect and solidarity after two high-speed trains collided in Toledo province. The crash killed dozens and injured many others, according to reports, and the death toll may rise. The federation said it would announce revised dates and kickoff times in the coming days; the postponement affects several top-flight clubs, while Real Madrid and Barcelona enter the competition later.
