According to Sports.

Background

Rayo Vallecano has tried to play its home games at other stadiums in recent weeks, including the Estadio Montjuic in Barcelona. The uncertainty over stadium use could pose further challenges for Rayo Vallecano in the current season, especially in view of the upcoming games against strong opponents such as Atlético Madrid.

Why this is important

The situation around the Rayo Vallecano stadium is critical, as ongoing work at the Estadio de Vallecas makes it impossible to hold home games. Getafe's refusal to make the Coliseum available to Alfonso Pérez exacerbates the uncertainty and could significantly affect Rayo Vallecano's planning and preparation. This also has an impact on fans and the league, as games may have to be rescheduled at short notice.

But Rayo had to announce yesterday, Saturday October 28th, that Getafe would not make the stadium available for this game.

The last two home games against Barcelona and Almería were played at the Estadio Montjuic in Barcelona. Rayo's next away game to be played in the league is the game against Atlético Madrid and this game is scheduled to be played at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano.
