The Spanish Football Federation said on Friday that it has canceled a Sunday league match between Betis and Villarreal B because of the outbreak of A/H1N1 flu in the Betis squad.

The Spanish second division club has 13 players infected with the A/H1N1 virus and has been unable to train for the past three days as measures were taken to prevent a further spread of the disease.

The infected players were identified as Sergio Garcia, Arzu, Sunny, Carlos Garcia, Nelson, Juande, Damia, Nano, Caffa, Pavone, Emana, Fernando Vega and Israel Bascon.

Betis was relegated from the Primera Liga last season and is currently looking to gain promotion back to Spain's top flight.

The match will be postponed to a later date.
