The Community of Madrid notified on Monday afternoon its refusal to lift the precautionary measures affecting the concession of the Estadio de Vallecas, as officially communicated by the sports entity. This resolution prevents Rayo Vallecano from playing at home in its ground.
Faced with this situation, the board of Rayo Vallecano has formally requested LaLiga to postpone the match, arguing that the inability to play at home causes direct harm to the club and its season ticket holders. Club sources indicate they are still awaiting a response from the Spanish football employers' association.
If the stance of the competent bodies remains unchanged and the match proceeds as scheduled, the game will take place at the Estadio Municipal ONTIME Butarque, in Leganés. This agreement was previously reached between Rayo Vallecano and Club Deportivo Leganés.
To facilitate fan attendance, the club has organized a free distribution system for equivalent category tickets for its season ticket holders, who must present their current season's pass. Ticket collection will be at the Estadio de Vallecas ticket offices on Wednesday, August 19 (from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM) and Thursday, August 20 (from 10:00 AM to 8:45 PM).
The club has also announced that it will soon publish the documentation submitted to the institutions to justify its position and will detail the procedure for selling tickets to the general public.
