Rayo rent the Estadio de Vallecas from the regional government of Madrid but have had their licence to host matches suspended after an audit highlighted serious health and safety issues.
A regional government report cited the risk of Legionnaires' disease outbreaks or fires due to the accumulation of refuse and debris inside the stadium, as well as electrical faults.
To date, no alternative venue for home games has been confirmed.
Legionnaires' disease is a serious lung infection caused by inhaling droplets of water containing bacteria.

That's a huge bummer. I love their stadium, and for a club with their resources this is probably going to be a big financial hit.
Edit: I don't know much about it, but from the article it sounds like either someone in the org is too cheap to do the basics for health and safety or the club doesn't have the money to do it, which makes something like this a compounding problem.

The stadium has been falling apart since the early 2000s. Shame, because Bucaneros are some of the best ultras out there and deserve better.
