Madrid region moves to end the Vallecas concession | OneFootball

The report from the Advisory Legal Commission will be made public in the coming weeks, allowing matches to be played

The Community of Madrid is entering the decisive phase in resolving the administrative future of the Vallecas Stadium. According to information published by Libertad Digital, the regional government’s Minister of Culture, Tourism and Sport, Mariano de Paco, has confirmed that the opinion of the Advisory Legal Commission will be ready "within 20 days or a month". This document is the prior and essential step needed to carry out the definitive termination of the current concession granted to Rayo Vallecano S.A.D., continuing the procedure launched during the summer due to deficiencies detected in the upkeep of the venue, which led to the team’s temporary relocation to Butarque stadium.

Although the Madrid official acknowledged during a media briefing that "for now" the breaches that prompted the sanction have been corrected, the regional government remains firm in its reorganization plan. Mariano de Paco was particularly blunt when assessing the capabilities of the red-sashed club’s board, stating that the entity "is not capable of being the manager" of the sports venue and warning that, if the club were to continue handling maintenance work at the facility, "in six months the stadium will be back to how it was". For this reason, the institutional roadmap envisions separating the Vallecas club’s use of the stadium from the club’s purely sporting management.

To avoid further harm to the competition and to the fans, the Community plans to open a transitional period after the termination of the concession, ensuring that Rayo can continue playing its home matches on Payaso Fofó street. Under this framework, the club would pay a fee through an "independent agreement" with the future concessionaire of the venue, who will then assume exclusive responsibility for full maintenance and the development of new services on the site. A formula aimed at providing stability for the stadium amid preparations for the squad’s imminent return to the Vallecas pitch.
