CroatiaThe article reports on escalating tensions between Rayo Vallecano, a Spanish football club based in Madrid, and local authorities over the maintenance of their stadium, Vallecas. Following a temporary suspension of the club’s stadium concession due to safety violations, the club blocked access to technical staff sent by the regional government to carry out urgent repairs. The authorities filed a complaint with the National Police, accusing club officials of intentionally obstructing inspections and work. While some maintenance was allowed in auxiliary areas, core stadium work remained blocked. A cultural, tourism, and sports commissioner criticized the club’s actions, stating they damage its reputation. The situation could determine whether the team plays its first matches of the season away from Vallecas, though a temporary venue remains unknown.
