Roma banned from travelling to Lecce; away section closed

Roma supporters will be prohibited from attending the upcoming away match at Lecce after the Prefect of Lecce, Natalino Manno, signed an official order this morning banning ticket sales to all residents of the Lazio region. The visiting section at the Via del Mare stadium will remain completely closed, with no tickets made available to Roma fans. The ban stems from clashes that occurred outside the stadium in 2025. The restriction marks a continuation of restrictions that affected Roma supporters throughout the latter part of last season. From January to May, Roma fans were kept away from away grounds following incidents involving Roma ultras and Fiorentina ultras on the A1 motorway.

Roma supporters will not be able to travel to Lecce for the club's first away match of the season. The Prefect of Lecce, Natalino Manno, signed an official order this morning prohibiting ticket sales to all residents of the Lazio region and ordering the complete closure of the away section at the Via del Mare stadium. The ban stems from clashes that occurred outside the ground in 2025. The decision reflects a broader pattern of travel restrictions imposed on Roma fans. The previous season saw away fixtures blocked from January through May following incidents on the A1 motorway between Roma ultras and Fiorentina supporters. No tickets will be sold for the Lecce match.

AS Roma has filed supplementary counter-arguments and additional documentation required as part of a Services Conference scheduled for early September, which is expected to deliver a final verdict on the stadium project's technical and economic feasibility study. The submission moves the process forward with the Lazio Region, the Urban Planning Department of Rome Capital, and the office of Special Commissioner Massimo Sessa now reviewing the club's response.
