Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano’s home game against Athletic Club was halted and eventually abandoned when supporters threw paper planes and rubber balls onto the field to protest owner Raul Martin Presa. The incident occurred early in the match, leading officials to stop play and later call off the game with the score still 0-0.

Rayo Vallecano have been prohibited from using their home ground, Estadio de Vallecas, after a health and safety audit identified a risk of Legionnaires’ disease. The club must find an alternative venue for the upcoming season while urgent repairs are carried out, which could take two to six months.
