Judge orders closure of Coliseum forcing Getafe to find new stadium for Rayo Vallecano clash

In a setback for Getafe CF, the team will have to find an alternative venue for their first home game in 2024 due to a one-match ban for the Coliseum. The ban was upheld after an appeal by the RFEF disciplinary committee, stemming from violent clashes between fans in 2017. With just three weeks to find a new ground to host their match against Rayo Vallecano, Getafe faces a logistical challenge in the new year.

Getafe faces stadium ban for 2024 opener

Getafe will not have the support of their fans at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez when they kick off 2024. The RFEF disciplinary committee has upheld a one-match ban for the team, following violent clashes between fans in 2017. With their first home game of the year against Rayo Vallecano approaching, Getafe will have to find a neutral ground to host the match. Options for their temporary home include Butarque, as Leganes is on winter break, or renting another stadium in the Spanish capital.
