Ettore Viola Speaks: 'Everything for Roma'

AS Roma's cup subscriptions have nearly reached their maximum capacity of 40,000, with 39,500 sold in just over 24 hours after the general sale opened on 19 August at 15:00. The sale is scheduled to close the following week but is expected to sell out well before that deadline. Demand has been exceptional. On the first day of sales, over 26,000 people were recorded queueing to buy tickets across standard and hospitality sectors. The surge reflects strong anticipation ahead of the new 2026–27 season, particularly Roma's return to the Champions League, which has galvanised supporters to back the team. Only a handful of places remain available. Sales will continue until the deadline is reached, though officials expect all allocations to be claimed within days rather than the full week initially planned.

AS Roma have opened ticket sales for the North-West Stand (Distinti Nord-Ovest) ahead of their Serie A season opener against Fiorentina on Monday 24 August, with a 20:45 kick-off at the Stadio Olimpico. The club has already sold more than 61,000 tickets and is aiming to reach 67,000 for a sold-out capacity. Fiorentina supporters based in Florence and the surrounding province have been banned from attending the away fixture. Roma are targeting a full house to mark the start of what manager Gian Piero Gasperini's side hope will be a campaign culminating in a return to the Champions League. The first match of the domestic campaign is scheduled to welcome a crowd befitting the occasion. With over 61,000 tickets sold, Roma's push for the full 67,000-capacity crowd reflects the appetite among supporters for a successful new season under Gasperini.

AS Roma marked a double celebration on 20 August as the club honoured the birthdays of two figures from vastly different eras: Giuseppe Giannini and Evan N'Dicka. Giannini, the historic captain and one-club legend who spent over 15 years in giallorossi colours, turned 62. N'Dicka, the Ivorian centre-back, celebrated his 27th birthday as he prepares to begin his fourth season at the club. Roma acknowledged both occasions with birthday messages shared across its official social media channels. The contrast between the two reflects different chapters of the club's history. Giannini remains a symbol of Roma's golden era as one of the great one-club captains, while N'Dicka has established himself as a key defensive figure during the modern era. The dual celebration underlined the continuity of commitment to Roma, spanning generations and roles.
