Rome official calls for evening Derby della Capitale on Monday, urges zero tolerance for stadium violence

Source: Forza Roma

Alessandro Onorato, Rome's assessor for major events, sports, tourism and fashion, has called for the Derby della Capitale between Roma and Lazio to be played on Monday evening, ideally at 21:00. Speaking at the Piazza di Siena equestrian event, Onorato addressed scheduling conflicts with the Italian Open tennis final and emphasized that the city can manage simultaneous major sporting events.

Onorato stressed that Roma should not fear hosting an evening derby due to security concerns. He stated: "Rome has demonstrated it can manage any event simultaneously, we are not afraid for the Italian Open final and the derby. Logic would suggest one day for the final and the next day for the derby. If the derby is moved to Monday, let it be at 21:00 to allow everyone who works to return home or go to the stadium. In Rome we must not be afraid to play an evening derby because of possible incidents; it is time that whoever thinks of going to the stadium to cause clashes is assured of justice. We expect very clear words from the Government on this."

Onorato's comments reflect broader discussions about fixture scheduling in Rome's packed sporting calendar and a hardline stance on preventing ultras-related violence at the Stadio Olimpico. The exact date and kickoff time for the derby remain subject to confirmation.

La finale degli Internazionali si sapeva da anni, è giunta l’ora che i calendari vengano fatti incastrando sport che ormai non sono più secondari". Queste le prime parole di Onorato che poi prosegue entrando nel merito del derby: "Logica vorrebbe che un giorno si faccia la finale e quello dopo si giochi il derby. Se si dovesse spostare a lunedì il derby, che si faccia alle 21.00 per dare la possibilità a tutti coloro che lavorano di poter tornare a casa o di andare allo stadio.

Ci aspettiamo da parte del Governo parole molto nette su questo".

Roma-Lazio derby scheduled for Sunday 12:00 as Lega seeks compromise with tennis finals

AS Roma's Derby della Capitale clash against SS Lazio on 17 May has become the subject of a scheduling dispute involving public order authorities. The match, part of Serie A's 37th round, is set to take place the same day as the final of the 83rd edition of the Internazionali BNL d'Italia tennis tournament. Both events occur within metres of each other at the Foro Italico, creating significant crowd management challenges. The Lega di Serie A initially proposed a 12:30 kick-off, but Rome's Prefettura (local authority) pushed back, suggesting the derby be moved to Monday 18 May at 20:45. In response, the Lega and Prefettura have now proposed a compromise: hold the derby on Sunday 17 May at 12:00, with all concurrent Serie A matches scheduled for the same time, while requesting the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation delay the tennis final by two and a half hours to 17:30. This would allow both events to proceed on the same day several hours apart. The tennis final is already sold out. The proposal would also affect matches involving Juventus, Milan, Como, and Napoli—all contenders in the Champions League race—forcing them to play at an unusual midday slot during May's heat and heightened competition tension. Official confirmation remains pending. Details of whether all parties will accept the compromise remain unclear, and further changes could still occur before the final decision is announced.
