Madrid Football Federation could manage Vallecas Stadium

Madrid's regional government has approved termination of Rayo Vallecano's stadium concession due to breaches; the Madrid Football Federation may take over management.

Madrid's regional government has received approval from its Legal Advisory Commission to terminate Rayo Vallecano's concession of the Estadio de Vallecas, citing multiple breaches of contract by the club. The decision came after the commission determined the club had failed to meet its obligations as the stadium's concessionaire.

The procedure has a maximum eight-month timeline from its start on 27 July, giving a deadline of 27 March next year for a final resolution. The Madrid Football Federation has expressed interest in taking over the stadium's management, a proposal that Madrid's Sports Councillor Mariano de Paco has received positively.

If approved, this would allow Rayo Vallecano to continue playing at the stadium without needing to relocate, with the federation—led by Paco Díez, RFEF vice-president—handling operations and maintenance.
