Rayo Vallecano
Football Club

Rayo Vallecano de Madrid, or Rayo as its name is often abbreviated, is a Spanish professional football team based in Vallecas in Madrid. Founded in 1924, their home grounds are Campo De Futbol de Vallecas. Although they spent some time in the Segunda Division, during the 20/21 season, they were promoted to La Liga.

If you want a more grassroot and community feel to a Spanish football match in Madrid, that does not have the glamour of Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid games, Rayo is a great choice. They always feel like the strappy underdog that you want to do well. Their fans are very enthusiastic, which seems to spur their players, who put a lot of heart and soul into each game.
