The Regional Federation of Neighborhood Associations of Madrid has supported the withdrawal of the Vallecas Stadium concession, now calling for dialogue to regulate the venue's future use.

The neighborhood entity, in coordination with the associations of Puente de Vallecas, has positively assessed the decision by the Community of Madrid to terminate the current operating contract. According to the group, this measure addresses deficiencies detected in the maintenance and management of the sports facilities.
Given the upcoming tender for the space through a public competition, neighborhood representatives have expressed concern about the potential transformation of the stadium into a hub for large-scale events. To address this, a meeting has been scheduled with the Department of Culture, Tourism and Sport for September.
The goal of this meeting is to ensure that the new terms include clear restrictions on the intensity of non-sporting events. Demands include the implementation of mobility plans, noise emission controls, and schedules that guarantee coexistence with nearby residential areas.
Finally, the federation advocates for the future management model to include mechanisms for direct economic return that benefit grassroots sports clubs and cultural entities in the Puente de Vallecas district.
