Roma fans banned from Lecce away fixture as visiting section closed

Source: Forza Roma

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.

Roma supporters will be banned from travelling to Lecce for the away fixture on Monday, 31 August after the Prefect of Lecce, Natalino Manno, signed an official order prohibiting ticket sales to all residents of the Lazio region. The away section at Stadio Via del Mare will be completely closed, with no tickets made available to Roma fans. All three outlets agree the ban stems from clashes between Roma and Lecce supporters that occurred outside the stadium in 2025.

This marks the latest in a series of restrictions placed on Roma's travelling support. GialloRossi.net and Forza Roma both highlight that from January to May of last season, Roma fans were kept away from away grounds entirely following incidents involving Roma ultras and Fiorentina ultras on the A1 motorway. The current ban at Lecce therefore continues a pattern of away-match restrictions that has significantly impacted Roma supporters' ability to follow their team throughout the 2024–25 season.

Malen's hat-trick breaks decade-old Serie A record for opening day

Paulo Dybala provided three assists for the Dutch forward in the emphatic display. The feat marked the first hat-trick on Serie A's opening day in a decade.
