Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano was founded on 29 May 1924 in the working-class Puente de Vallecas district of Madrid and is closely identified with the politics and culture of its neighbourhood. It has spent 22 seasons in La Liga and won the Segunda Division in 2017-18, and its rare European outings came in the 2000-01 UEFA Cup, in which it reached the quarter-finals, and the Conference League in 2025-26. Rayo has played at the small Campo de Futbol de Vallecas since 1976.
