Rome Police Chief Says Derby and Tennis Finals Can Be Managed Simultaneously

Source: Forza Roma

Rome's police chief has confirmed that security arrangements can be put in place to manage the Derby della Capitale between AS Roma and SS Lazio on 17 May alongside the finals of the Internazionali tennis tournament at the Foro Italico on the same day. The scheduling conflict has raised concerns among security officials given the scale of both events.

Questore Roberto Massucci stated: "It is not necessary to be a security expert to understand that it would be better if there were no overlap. But despite that, we are capable of doing anything, even managing two events of such magnitude together." He added that a decision on the final date and kick-off time would be made in the coming week once all stakeholders' requirements have been considered.

The derby was originally scheduled for mid-May, creating the potential for a clash with the tennis final. While Massucci acknowledged that ideally the two major sporting events would not occur simultaneously, Rome's security infrastructure is deemed sufficient to handle both without compromise.
