Sixteen Roma fans have been banned from attending Italian stadiums following a fascist salute made by supporters during a match against Atalanta, according to Reuters. The incident occurred on September 5 during Roma's 2-1 victory at the Stadio Olimpico. As part of the sanctions, the sixteen fans will be required to report to the police before each Roma game, with ban lengths ranging from one to five years.
These restrictions extend beyond domestic matches to include Roma games abroad and Italy's international fixtures. The Curva Sud, the home of Roma's most dedicated ultras, has a history of engaging in problematic behavior, including the display of fascist salutes.
