MLS game between LAFC and Austin FC in Texas postposed by inclement weather

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Major League Soccer game between Los Angeles FC and Austin FC was postponed Saturday because of inclement weather.

“The decision was made due to severe weather impacting the safety of travel in Central Texas and with guidance from relevant local authorities,” Austin FC said in a statement.

A new date for the match at Q2 Stadium will be announced at a later date.

In the statement, Austin also expressed sympathy for those affected by flooding in the state.

“Our hearts go out to the families, friends, and neighbors who have lost their lives, and we urge that those who are able find their way to safety,” the club said. “We also want to express our gratitude and respect for those who are responding to the crisis with life saving measures.”
