Roma fans can travel to Como as away ban lifted

The New York Times has ranked AS Roma's away jersey as the best kit among major European clubs, awarding it a perfect score in a review that assessed kits from Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Real Madrid among others. Adidas designed the strip to balance distinctive style with immediate Roma identity. The newspaper praised the elegance and restraint of the design, noting that it stands out without clashing. "It's no small feat to devise a design that is distinctive and/or original for a team's away kit, while simultaneously being immediately recognisable as belonging to that team," the Times wrote. The review highlighted every element: "Adidas has created something elegant and sober, but that distinguishes itself as well, and that at the same time seems to immediately belong to Roma. Every detail is superb, from the double chest stripe to the collar, down to the slightly ivory background that ensures the bright secondary colours do not clash too much. Give them the Scudetto right now."

Roma radio stations debated the club's immediate fixtures and stadium plans on 2 October, with key voices offering contrasting views on priorities and squad management ahead of a taxing schedule. David Rossi told Rete Sport that Roma's match against Real Madrid is the least important of the next three fixtures in his assessment. "Delle prossime tre partite, quella meno importante per me è Roma-Real Madrid," he said, though he acknowledged the risk that a strong performance against the Spanish club could have unforeseen consequences. "Però se prendi la super-sveglia contro il Real, poi rischi che possa lasciare il segno e allora non ti puoi allargare. Ma col Real rischi di perdere anche se ti giochi i resti, perchè loro sono comunque più forti." Rossi expected defensive rotation, anticipating Emanuele Lulli or Daniele Ghilardi against Genoa, and noted concerns about Wesley and Nahuel Molina potentially playing all three matches. Bryan Cristante's availability was downplayed as a minor concern given Marten de Roon's presence in the squad. Gianluca Piacentini drew stark contrasts between this season and last, saying: "La Roma dell'anno scorso e quella di quest'anno sono due squadre di due paesi diversi, manco due campionati diversi." He praised the overall squad output under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini but noted a paradox—low conversion despite high volume—even after two 4–0 victories. On points targets, Piacentini stated: "Se contro Como e Genoa dovessi fare 4 punti sarebbe tanta roba, ma pure se li facessi contro Real Madrid e Slovan Bratislava. Per due vittorie e due pareggi firmerei subito." Checco Oddo Casano highlighted Rodrigo Mora's directness as a tactical advantage, observing that Roma now shoots significantly more often at goal this season, though he questioned whether this reflected Donyell Malen's arrival or broader squad work. Stadium development dominated the latter portion of the discussion. Paolo Cosenza raised concerns about siting a new ground near a hospital, while Mario Corsi countered that ambulance delays are a city-wide problem affecting the Stadio Olimpico already. Alessandro Antinelli noted the proposed Roma stadium is a strong candidate for Euro 2032 should construction begin in spring, and would regenerate the area. Stefano Carina reported Mayor Gualtieri's two-and-a-half-year completion timeline and noted the Pietralata site is among Euro 2032 venues, though he expressed concern about ticket affordability in the new facility.

Roma will have away support at Como for the first time in several weeks after travel bans were imposed for matches at Lecce and Torino. Ticket sales for the visitors' section at the Stadio Sinigaglia opened today at 15:00, priced at €25 each with no residency restrictions. The sale will close on 10 October at 19:00 or when tickets sell out.
