Derby della Capitale fixture uncertain; potential shift to Monday evening under consideration

Source: Forza Roma

The timing of Roma's upcoming derby against SS Lazio remains unconfirmed following scheduling complications affecting multiple Serie A title contenders. The Lega Serie A initially announced the match for Sunday, May 17 at 12:30 p.m., alongside fixtures for Napoli, Milan, Juventus, and Como in the Champions League race. However, a provincial public order and security committee meeting scheduled for today could alter these plans, with Monday, May 18 emerging as a possible new date.

Local authorities — the prefettura and questura — are considering various kickoff times. While officials prefer an 18:00 start, an evening kickoff is also under discussion, despite evening fixtures typically being restricted due to public safety concerns. The Lega Serie A opposes any postponement and has indicated readiness to escalate the matter to competent authorities, including potential legal action through the Tar (administrative court). League chief executive Luigi De Siervo has proposed an alternative: postponing the final of the Rome International Tennis Tournament to free up security resources.

The fixture is complicated by concurrent scheduling demands across the league, with multiple clubs competing for Champions League qualification. Details remain unclear regarding which option will ultimately prevail, though a decision is expected soon following today's security meeting.

La Lega Serie A ieri ha dato una forte accelerata, decidendo di fare uscire in anticipo rispetto al solito martedì il programma della prossima giornata di campionato: Roma-Lazio e le altre gare per la Champions sono fissate alle 12.30 di domenica 17 maggio. Non hanno aspettato neanche la partita del Napoli, pubblicando il calendario di anticipi e posticipi con un asterisco («Qualora non si rendesse necessaria la contemporaneità, la gara si disputerà domenica alle ore 18»). Peccato che - come riporta la Gazzetta dello Sport -oggi in prefettura si terrà sul tema un comitato provinciale per l’ordine e la sicurezza pubblica e l’idea sarebbe quella di fare slittare il derby a lunedì 18 maggio. Una decisione condivisa che sembra non escludere l’ipotesi che si possa giocare la sera. È chiaro che prefettura e questura preferirebbero fissare la gara alle 18, ma è possibile che - riconoscendo i potenziali problemi dei tifosi - si prenda in considerazione anche un orario serale, solitamente vietato sempre per problemi di ordine pubblico.Una soluzione che potrebbe sembrare un compromesso, ma che invece non piace affatto alla Lega Serie A, pronta a tenere il punto se si verificasse un qualsiasi slittamento e anche a rivalersi nelle famose “sedi competenti”, tanto da non escludere un ricorso al Tar. Sul tavolo poi l’a.d. Luigi De Siervo ha piazzato un’ipotesi alternativa, sperando che venga valutata anche da chi gestisce la sicurezza a Roma: «Posticipare la finale degli Internazionali», ha detto a “La politica nel pallone” su Gr Parlamento-Radio Rai.Leggi anche Gasperini al potere: il tecnico vola senza Ranieri Malen da record.

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.

Malen Sets Record as Most Prolific January Signing in Serie A History

Donyell Malen has established himself as the most productive striker ever signed in January across Serie A's modern era. The Dutch forward scored a brace in a recent match, bringing his tally to 13 Serie A goals and 14 for the season across 16 appearances—averaging one goal every 101 minutes. With this latest double, Malen surpassed Mario Balotelli, who had remained at 12 goals in this specialized ranking of January acquisitions. His strike rate represents an exceptional return for a midfielder-turned-forward acquisition. Malen's performances have made a significant impact at Roma since his arrival. His prolific output over a compressed timeframe highlights the quality of the signing and demonstrates the immediate value he has brought to the squad. The comparison to Balotelli underscores just how remarkable Malen's early contribution has been, as Balotelli was previously the benchmark for January signings in Italian football.
