Rayo OKC majority owners, Madrid-based Rayo Vallecano, are not represented at the annual NASL board of governors meetings in Atlanta this week, thus another sign that indicates the club will not play in the league in 2017.

A source told The Oklahoman that Raúl Martín Presa, president of Rayo Vallecano, is currently in Spain and is not involved in the discussions taking place in Atlanta.

The Oklahoman has also learned that all Rayo OKC players have been released from their contracts with the club. This applies to only a handful of players with multi-year deals, for most of the players had one-year contracts (which is common in lower-division professional soccer).
