The Rayo Vallecano locker room has said enough is enough. Through a harsh statement issued by the Spanish Footballers' Association (AFE), the players and coaching staff have publicly denounced the precarious conditions in which they carry out their professional work, describing them as "unworthy" of the elite of Spanish football.
The complaint focuses on serious deficiencies that affect the team's daily life. Among the most critical points, the squad highlights the lack of hot water and the neglected state of the Ciudad Deportiva, which forced the group to train at external facilities for three months. They also describe the pitch at the Estadio de Vallecas as "unplayable and unstable," claiming it does not meet the minimum requirements for the First Division.
The players have also come out in defense of their supporters, criticizing the fact that Rayo is the only club in the division without an online ticket office or an operational official store. According to the statement, the club's ownership has systematically ignored the "promised solutions," perpetuating a neglect that affects both professionals and the fan base. Coach Íñigo Pérez had already warned about this discontent, which has now erupted into an unprecedented institutional crisis.
