Stadio Olimpico and Foro Italico to be heavily secured for derby and tennis finals

Source: Forza Roma

Rome's Stadio Olimpico and the adjacent Foro Italico will be secured with thousands of security personnel, stewards, and drones ahead of tomorrow's Derby della Capitale between AS Roma and SS Lazio and the tennis finals. Approximately 70,000 people are expected to attend both events simultaneously—60,000 for the football match and 10,000 for the International Tennis Championships. The security operation has already begun with sweeps of the surrounding area, coordinated by Rome's police chief, Roberto Massucci, who stated: "We are capable of doing anything, even managing together two events of great magnitude like the derby and the International Tennis Championships."

The two events will be managed as a unified security operation, with differentiated access corridors and elevated steward presence controlling entry to both venues. Sensitive areas across central Rome, where Roma and Lazio supporters typically gather, will be monitored on the ground and from the air using drones. Lazio supporters will be directed via Ponte Milvio to the stadium's north side, while Roma fans will enter via Lungotevere Thaon di Revel and Ponte Duca d'Aosta. Tennis spectators will access through viale delle Olimpiadi and via Canevaro. The operation involves coordination between carabinieri, the financial police, and local police, with the air division providing aerial surveillance throughout the day.

La partita di calcio a pranzo e la finale del tennis alle 17 gestite come un evento unico. Dalle 10 del mattino e fino a tarda sera nell'area transiteranno circa 70mila persone Redazione 16 maggio - 08:03 Roma, delirio pre derby fuori l'Olimpico: cori e fumogeni all'arrivo del pullman Il piano è pronto. La macchina operativa è entrata in azione già da ieri quando sono scattate le prime bonifiche nell'area circostante il Foro Italico e lo Stadio Olimpico. Perché è lì che domani arriveranno circa 70mila persone. Diecimila per gli Internazionali di tennis, 60mila per assistere al derby Roma-Lazio. Tra loro anche molte cariche istituzionali, a partire dal presidente della Repubblica, Sergio Mattarella, scrive Luisa Urbani su Il Messaggero. "Siamo capaci di fare qualsiasi cosa, anche gestire insieme due eventi di grande portata come il derby e gli Internazionali di tennis", aveva detto la scorsa settimana il questore di Roma, Roberto Massucci. E ora lo sta mettendo in pratica con il dispositivo di sicurezza definito ieri durante il tavolo insieme a carabinieri, guardia di finanza e polizia locale. Miglia-ia, infatti, le forze in campo per sorvegliare non solo la zona dello Stadio Olimpico e del Foro Italico, ma anche le aree del Centro dove sono solite ritrovarsi le tifoserie di Roma e Lazio. Sorveglieranno le zone sensibili via terra e dall'alto grazie al coinvolgimento dei piloti del I Reparto Volo. Sono stati previsti corridoi differenziati che saranno presidiati da un maggior numero di steward per controllare gli accessi agli impianti sportivi. I tifosi della Lazio saranno indirizzati da Ponte Milvio verso il lato nord dello stadio e sul Lungotevere Maresciallo Diaz. Per la Roma il percorso passerà dal Lungotevere Thaon di Revel e dal Ponte Duca d'Aosta fino ai varchi di piazza Lauro De Bosis. I settori Monte Mario saranno raggiungibili dal Ponte della Musica, Lungotevere della Vittoria e viale Angelico, mentre il pubblico del tennis accederà dai varchi di viale delle Olimpiadi e via Canevaro. © RIPRODUZIONE RISERVATA Commenta Continua la lettura Commenti Invia Commento Tutti Leggi altri commenti

Malen and El Aynaoui: contrasting World Cup fortunes

Morocco eliminated the Netherlands at the World Cup overnight, advancing to the knockout stages. The result has starkly different implications for two Roma players. Donyell Malen remained on the bench for the entire match and did not play a single minute as the Netherlands were eliminated. Malen had been a key figure in Roma's Champions League push this season, but Netherlands coach Koeman dropped him after a training ground disagreement, initially trying him as a central striker before moving him to the wing. The attacker is now free to return to Europe and plans to enjoy a deserved holiday before joining Roma's preseason training at Trigoria. El Aynaoui, Roma's midfielder, played limited minutes for the club during the regular season but has now seen Morocco reach the World Cup quarter-finals, keeping his tournament dream alive. His impressive performances have reportedly attracted interest from major European clubs. However, Roma has no intention of selling him and plans to promote El Aynaoui to regular starter status next season. His return to Trigoria will be delayed as Morocco continues its World Cup campaign. Malen aims to be available for Roma's early preseason sessions and will look to rebuild his form with the Giallorossi.

Celik Close to Contract Extension but Not Gasperini's First Choice at Right-back

Zeki Celik is close to signing a new three-year contract with AS Roma following Turkey's elimination from the World Cup at the group stage. The club and player have reached an agreement in principle, with an announcement expected in the coming days. However, Celik will not be Gasperini's starting right-back. The head coach has requested reinforcement on the right flank and views Celik as a versatile option who can operate on either wing or as a right centre-back to rotate with Gianluca Mancini. Gasperini's primary target for the right-back position is a younger profile than Molina, who is considered a secondary option at 28 years old. Dodô is not being pursued, as Roma has not made any formal approach for the player. On the left side, Wesley remains a key part of the plans after rejecting Chelsea and is ready for the upcoming season. Ruggeri is not a target for Roma. The club will seek an alternative to Wesley on the left, with Angeliño expected to depart. Roma continues to work on contract extensions for key players, with Celik's renewal progressing alongside talks with Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini regarding their own deals.
