Italian Serie A club AS Roma has renewed its agreement with Sport e Salute for the use of the Stadio Olimpico until the 2027/28 season.
AS Roma said the Club cherishes its long-standing relationship with Sport e Salute and welcomes the continuity this provides to players, staff and supporters.
At the same time, the Olimpico will serve as an important bridge while work continues on the future “home” in Pietralata, a project that remains central to Roma’s long-term vision.
The new stadium will feature a sustainable park covering nearly 93,000 square meters with 8,000 square meters of equipped areas and 819 new trees.
The design includes two types of green space – urban and forestry areas – replacing an initially planned seating section.
A.S. Roma, commonly referred to as Roma, is a professional football club based in Rome, Italy. Founded by a merger in 1927, Roma has participated in the top tier of Italian football for all of its existence, except for the 1951-1952 seasons.
The club currently plays at the 72,698-capacity Stadio Olimpico – the largest sports facility in Rome, Italy.
It is located within the Foro Italico sports complex, north of the City. The structure is owned by the Italian National Olympic Committee and it is used primarily for association football.
The proposed new stadium, designed by Populous, will feature a capacity of 55,000 seats, expandable to 62,000, and will be anchored by what is expected to be the largest single stand in Europe—a new Curva Sud, modeled after the iconic supporter sections at Borussia Dortmund’s Signal Iduna Park and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The structure will incorporate elements of classical Roman architecture, state-of-the-art facilities, and a strong focus on environmental sustainability, aligning with both club and city goals. The stadium is expected to open in 2028.
Roma initially announced its intentions to build in Pietralata in July 2022, and the feasibility study was granted public interest status in May 2023 by the Capitoline Assembly.
The AS Roma Pietralata Stadium has an initial estimated price tag of €582.1 million which is expected to rise.
Roma’s leadership sees it as a symbol of innovation, sustainability, and community integration.
