Roma get green light for historic new stadium

Roma have received official approval to build their new stadium, marking a historic step in the club's development. The Serie A club's statement revealed that the process has reached a significant milestone with all necessary signatures obtained. The conclusion of the decision-making Conference of Services resulted in the declaration of public utility, signalling the beginning of the stadium's construction.

Roma expressed gratitude towards Roma Capitale, the UEFA Euro 2032 Commissioner for the Lazio Region, the Minister for Sport and Youth, and all the administrations and bodies involved for their support and contribution to the project. The new stadium, named Pietralata, is expected to bring about substantial employment opportunities and stimulate the local economy.

Its purpose goes beyond being a new home for the club and its fans; it aims to become a valuable asset for Rome, fostering redevelopment and development in the area, and providing lasting benefits for the entire city and its community. While the exact timeline for the construction remains unclear, further details are anticipated to emerge soon.
