Rayo Vallecano was founded on 29 May 1924, and the red diagonal stripe arrived in 1949, via an agreement with Atlético Madrid and with River Plate as the inspiration, the same year Rayo first reached the Tercera División. Their best season was 2000–01, when Rayo, promoted in 1999, got as far as the last eight of the UEFA Cup and lost only to Alavés. Successive relegations in 2003 and 2004 sent them down, and it was 2010–11 before the team finished second in Segunda and came back after an eight-year absence. Relegation in May 2016 and again in 2019 followed. Andoni Iraola arrived in August 2020 and in the playoffs they beat Girona, losing the first leg 1–2 at home before winning the second 2–0 away, to reach La Liga for 2021–22. In February 2022 they beat Mallorca to reach the Copa del Rey semi-finals. Eighth place in 2024-25 brought European football after 24 years, the 2025–26 Conference League league phase was a debut in a major UEFA group stage, and on 27 May 2026 they played their first European final, losing 1-0 to Crystal Palace.
The Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas in Madrid dates from 10 May 1976 and was called New Stadium Vallecas to begin with. It holds 14,708, a compact capacity by any top-flight standard. Plans for a new stadium were announced by the club in June 2009, but the Autonomous Community of Madrid, which owns the ground, had no plan as far as was known in 2023. Until that changes, Vallecas remains the home of Rayo.
