The Community of Madrid has officially revoked the Rayo Vallecano football club’s concession for the Estadio de Vallecas, citing significant concerns regarding safety, sanitation, and maintenance. Following an audit that began in October, the regional government has issued an order to extinguish the current agreement and has implemented a precautionary suspension of the club's access to the facility, effective immediately.
The regional administration is set to assume control of the stadium starting this Wednesday to facilitate urgent renovation work. As a result of these measures, Rayo Vallecano will be required to secure an alternative venue for at least the opening matches of the upcoming La Liga season. The club has expressed surprise at the decision, though the regional government indicated that the team may return to the stadium once the necessary improvements are completed and a new agreement is established.
