Derby della Capitale rescheduled to Monday at 20:45

The Derby della Capitale between Roma and SS Lazio will be played on Monday at 20:45, the Rome Prefect confirmed following an official reversal of the original Sunday fixture. The change came after assessments by the Provincial Committee for Public Order and Security, with particular consideration given to public order and urban mobility management amid the concurrent BNL d'Italia tennis final at the Foro Italico.

The rescheduling follows widespread controversy over the league's decision to schedule the derby on the same day as the Internazionali d'Italia tennis final. Rome Prefect Lamberto Giannini had previously raised concerns, stating: "I have serious doubts that the Roma-Lazio derby can be played on Sunday. There are many drawbacks to playing the derby on the same day as the Tennis Internationals final." Regional President Francesco Rocca also criticized the original decision, commenting: "A choice that leaves me perplexed, to put it mildly. This decision, beyond being shortsighted, shows minimal regard for analyses conducted by public security authorities. I hope Minister Piantedosi and Prefect Giannini will intervene to correct this superficial and selfish stance by the Football League."

The modification represents a significant change from Serie A's initial scheduling announcement and reflects pressure from local authorities concerned about managing both major sporting events simultaneously.

Il derby Roma-Lazio si giocherà lunedì alle 20:45. Lo comunica la prefettura di Roma dopo le valutazioni effettuate in sede di Comitato provinciale per l’Ordine e la Sicurezza Pubblica, con particolare riferimento ai profili connessi alla gestione dell’ordine pubblico e della mobilità urbana in concomitanza con un evento di rilevanza mondiale quale gli Internazionali Bnl d’Italia, in corso al Foro Italico.Scegli tu cosa leggere: metti Forzaroma.info tra le tue fonti GoogleUna decisione presa dopo le numerose polemiche nate dopo la scelta di giocare domenica, lo stesso giorno della finale degli Internazionali d'Italia di tennis. Sulla questione si era espresso il Prefetto di Roma Lamberto Giannini: "Ho serie perplessità che il derby Roma-Lazio possa giocarsi domenica. Ci sono molte controindicazioni per far giocare il derby la stessa giornata della finale degli Internazionali di Tennis". Una dura critica condivisa anche dal Presidente della Regione Lazio Francesco Rocca: "Una scelta che mi lascia perplesso, per usare un eufemismo.

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.
