Dan Friedkin attended the EFC assembly in Copenhagen today and spoke about Roma's current moment. "Between the stadium and first place, it's truly a great time for us," Friedkin said, reflecting the club's dual focus on league leadership and their new stadium development.

The new stadium remains central to Roma's strategy. The financial plan projects net revenues of approximately 154 million euros in the first year of operation, driven primarily by hospitality and ticket sales. The stadium has also been included in the FIGC dossier submitted to UEFA for Euro 2032.

AS Roma's new stadium project has reached a major milestone after unanimous approval from Rome's Services Conference on 28 September, clearing a critical hurdle toward construction. The €1.5 billion facility now enters a formal tender process before Roma submits its executive design, with the first concrete phase expected in spring 2027. According to Rome's urban planning assessor Maurizio Veloccia, all institutional bodies have now approved the plan, which must be completed in time for the 2032 European Championships. The stadium has also been included in the FIGC dossier submitted to UEFA for Euro 2032, underscoring its national importance.

The Friedkin project represents a significant shift from earlier proposals. Veloccia stressed that the current scheme improves upon the previous Tor di Valle concept, which required additional commercial infrastructure like shopping centres to make its financial plan viable. The new stadium, by contrast, stands as a dedicated sports facility. Financial projections show the stadium generating approximately 154 million euros in net revenues during its first year of operation, primarily through hospitality and ticket sales. Owner Dan Friedkin, currently attending an EFC assembly in Copenhagen, reflected on the dual momentum: "Between the stadium and first place, it's truly a great time for us," acknowledging Roma's current Serie A leadership alongside the stadium's advancement.

Roma fans cleared to travel to Como without restrictions

Roma supporters will be allowed to attend the away fixture at Como on Sunday 11 October without travel restrictions, marking the end of a ban that has been in place since the end of the 2025-26 season. Tickets will be available to all Roma fans nationwide, subject only to holding a Roma loyalty programme membership, after an initial plan to restrict sales to those outside the Lazio region was reversed. The travel ban was imposed following clashes between Roma and Fiorentina supporters on the motorway on 18 January, the date of Roma's last unrestricted away trip — a 2–0 win at Torino. The restrictions subsequently covered the final matches of 2025-26 and extended into the current campaign, affecting fixtures at Lecce and Torino during that period.

Malen attends Tre Fontane for Roma Women's Champions League opener against Barcelona

Donyell Malen was a special guest at the Stadio Tre Fontane on 30 September 2026, attending Roma Women's debut in the UEFA Women's Champions League against Barcelona. The Roma forward arrived with his partner Delisha and took a seat in the stands. When spotted by supporters, he stopped to sign autographs and pose for photographs with fans of all ages. Roma's social media captured his arrival at the stadium. Malen's presence at the fixture had a particular purpose: to watch his partner's sister, Silver Van Hetten, who has recently signed with Roma's women's youth academy (Primavera femminile). Van Hetten will train and compete alongside the Roma Women squad.

Koné on Chelsea interest: 'Things happened'; Roma to wear special centenary kit against Frosinone on 2 January

Manu Koné addressed speculation about a potential move away from Roma during a France national team press conference ahead of their match against Italy on Friday 2 October at 20:45. The midfielder acknowledged the late summer transfer window interest but reaffirmed his commitment to the club. "Things happened… I'm at Roma, I'm focused, we have objectives. I'm a Roma player and I'll give 100% for this club," Koné said. Roma are preparing to mark their centenary year, which begins in 2027. The club will launch the celebrations at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday 2 January when they face Frosinone. In a significant gesture, Roma will wear a special one-off commemorative shirt for that fixture—a kit designed exclusively to honour the club's hundred years since foundation and distinct from the kits that will be used throughout the 2027–28 season. Midfielder Nicolò Pisilli spoke separately about a recurring date in his career. "10 October is my date—it's a day bringing me luck in recent years," he told Vivo Azzurro TV in the Generazione Azzurra format. "In 2024 I made my senior Italy debut at the Olimpico, my club's stadium and my home city. In 2025 I scored my first Under-21 double." Pisilli added that his ambitions include winning a Serie A title with Roma and a World Cup with Italy.
