Roma has received approval to build a new stadium

"Roma" has reached an agreement with the Rome city government to build a new arena, which is set to become the club's home stadium. Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2027 and be completed by the end of 2029.

The new stadium will have a capacity of 60,605 spectators. Currently, Roma shares the Stadio Olimpico with Lazio, having played at that venue since 1953.

Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri confirmed that permission has been granted to begin construction. The club noted that the new stadium is intended to serve not only as a home stadium for the team and its fans but also as part of the development of the surrounding neighborhood.

Earlier in Madrid, Real Madrid head coach José Mourinho defended Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior after home fans at the Bernabéu Stadium booed both players. The coach compared the players to fruit trees, which, according to a Portuguese proverb, are stoned precisely because they bear fruit.

Before Real Madrid’s match against Elche in the city of Elche, Spain, Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, and Ibrahim Konaté rolled up their white jerseys to about chest level, partially covering the slogan in support of the residents of Ceuta.
