Gasperini interview cancelled at short notice

Torino president Urbano Cairo has moved to quash speculation surrounding Alessio Cacciamani, the 2007-born left-back who spent the last season on loan at Juve Stabia and has attracted interest from Roma. Speaking at the Mamma e Papà Cairo tournament, Cairo stated: "We absolutely want to keep Cacciamani, he's been with us for three years and has performed brilliantly. He had a very good campaign at Juve Stabia. The objective is to keep Cacciamani, absolutely." Cacciamani's loan spell in the third tier impressed Roma scouts monitoring the left flank, but Torino have signalled their intention to retain the prospect. The player has been at the Turin club for three years and is valued as part of their long-term development strategy. Cairo's public backing underlines Torino's resolve to resist any approach for the teenager, with the club viewing him as integral to their future plans despite external club interest.

AS Roma AFC's campaign at the Genuine Cup 2026 in Houston came to an end on 1 August, capping an extraordinary tournament run for the club's inclusive football team. The squad represented AS Roma from 27 July to 1 August at what is described as the most prestigious international tournament dedicated to inclusive football. The experience allowed the athletes to compete against teams from around the world, forge new friendships, and experience genuine cultural exchange. The visit to the United States proved far more than a simple competition. Every match, training session, and encounter strengthened the group's sense of belonging while demonstrating football's capacity to unite people with different backgrounds, characteristics, and experiences. The squad carried AS Roma's values of inclusion, shared purpose, and mutual respect throughout the tournament.
