Overview
- Europe returns to Vallecas on Thursday at 18:45 as Rayo hosts Shkëndija in the Conference League, marking the club’s first home European match in 24 years.
- The Delegación del Gobierno in Madrid has activated a 320-person security plan involving national and municipal police, emergency services and club stewards.
- Rayo sold the visiting allocation and will place away fans in the upper lateral stand because the ground does not have a dedicated visitors’ area.
- Roughly 200 traveling supporters are anticipated, with about 100 described in reports as ultras, including groups arriving by bus from Tetovo.
- Coverage links some visiting fans to Ultras Ballistet and notes police classify 70 Bukaneros members as extremely violent, as the region estimates 7–9 months to install a separating barrier.
