Madrid Suspends Rayo's Vallecas Concession

The suspension, effective immediately, comes after an audit detected serious deficiencies in safety, maintenance, and health conditions at the stadium. The works, expected to last between two to six months, address a situation of "generalized obsolescence" and "severe non-compliance" that compromises the venue's safety and operability.

The decision puts Rayo's home opener against Alavés on August 20th in jeopardy, as the club must now find an alternative venue for the match. This comes as another blow to Rayo Vallecano following last season's stadium issues. michezonews.co.za
