Rayo Vallecano received a negative response from the Madrid Community on August 17, 2026, after providing all the required documentation. The club then made a formal request to LaLiga to postpone the game, citing the severe impact it would have on the team and its fans if the match was not played at their home stadium, Estadio de Vallecas. However, LaLiga has yet to respond to this request. As a result, Rayo Vallecano has agreed with Deportivo Leganés to play the game at Estadio ONTIME Butarque, the home of Leganés.
Season ticket holders can collect their free entry tickets of a similar category at the Estadio de Vallecas ticket office, providing proof of their season ticket. This will be possible on Wednesday, August 19, from 11:00 to 22:00, and on Thursday, August 20, from 10:00 to 20:45. The club expressed its disappointment at the situation and has stated that it will provide documentation to prove its stance in the coming days.
