Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas stands at the junction of Calle del Payaso Fofó, Calle del Arroyo del Olivar and Avenida de la Albufera. It is in Puente de Vallecas, southeast of central Madrid, and serves as Rayo Vallecano’s home ground.

For Metro journeys starting at Valdecarros, the Madrid Metro guide explains how to use the network.

Tickets, entry and matchday rules
Ticket availability and entry arrangements depend on the event, so confirm them with Rayo Vallecano before travelling. The stadium’s capacity is 14,708 seated spectators in Turismo Madrid’s Spanish listing and 14,700 in its English listing.
Don’t assume the usual venue applies to every fixture. Rayo Vallecano has previously announced a match at another stadium, Estadio Municipal Ontime Butarque, with ticket arrangements specific to that match. Check the club’s event information for the venue and entry details that apply to your plans.
What to confirm before an event
Confirm that Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas is operating and hosting your event before you travel. Venue status can change, and a published notice may not reflect later developments.
Check the event venue, ticket conditions and travel arrangements with Rayo Vallecano, and verify transport details with the relevant operator. If accessibility information matters for your visit, contact the venue directly: Madrid’s city-council listing does not provide information about access for people with reduced mobility.
The stadium also serves as the finish line for the San Silvestre Vallecana, an annual Madrid race held every 31 December. That recurring use makes it especially important to confirm event-specific access and transport arrangements before heading to the area.
Before you go: check the official site before you go, including Rayo Vallecano’s event information and the relevant transport operator’s service details.
