Story summary
On Saturday, fans of Rayo Vallecano protested against club president Raúl Martín Presa by throwing paper airplanes and small rubber balls onto the field during a La Liga match against Athletic Bilbao at Estadio de Vallecas. This forced the referee to stop play in the 13th minute, with Rayo players joining fans on the sidelines shortly after. Despite attempts to resume the game, it was suspended again due to further object-throwing. The match was abandoned as both teams and officials left the field, leaving the score at 0-0. This protest reflects long-standing dissatisfaction among fans regarding Presa’s management, including poor upkeep of facilities and failure to modernize the club. Prior to the game, an audit highlighted serious health and safety issues at the stadium, including risks of Legionnaires' disease.
