The match has drawn significant global media attention, with over 400 accredited broadcasters, journalists and photographers expected from across Europe and beyond, including China, the Middle East, the United States, Russia, Brazil, Argentina, Poland, Switzerland, Spain, France, Germany and England. Head coach Gasperini's squad will look to harness the home crowd, described by the club as having acted as a "twelfth man" in previous home fixtures this season. Tickets remain available for purchase. The club advises supporters to arrive at least 90 minutes before kickoff to avoid congestion at turnstiles. From 15:00 until the final whistle, assistance will be available at box 4 on via Nigra.

The club has released comprehensive guidance for the more than 60,000 supporters expected at the ground. Stadium gates will open at 15:30, with Roma recommending fans arrive at least 90 minutes before kickoff to avoid congestion at the turnstiles. From 15:00 until the match starts, supporters can visit box 4 on via Nigra for any assistance. From three hours before kickoff, the Contact Center AS Roma is available on 06.89386000, by email, or via an online form.

Roma has warned against secondary ticketing on unofficial platforms, even at discounted prices, and maintains an online form for supporters to report irregular resale activity. Three mobile merchandise stands will operate pre-match and throughout the fixture, positioned at via delle Olimpiadi, the Monte Mario piazza, and the Tevere Stand entrance near the obelisk. Accessibility services include dedicated parking for disabled supporters—via Nigra for Tevere Stand ticket holders and viale dei Gladiatori for Monte Mario Stand ticket holders, with additional spaces at viale Alberto Blanc. The "Unstoppable – Superiamo gli Ostacoli" scheme provides transport assistance for fans with mobility disabilities; KINTO, Toyota's global mobility brand and Roma's mobility service provider, supplies adapted vehicles for all home fixtures, with Civil Protection volunteers handling transfers from 09:00 to 18:00 daily and by 14:00 the day before each match. A sensory-friendly "Quiet Room" in the Monte Mario Stand offers supporters with sensory sensitivities an alternative viewing experience away from crowds, loud noise and intense lighting. Roma's "Food for the Community" initiative, conducted with the diocesan Caritas, continues to collect hospitality surplus food from the stadium for distribution to vulnerable communities in Rome.

Francesco Totti was the centrepiece of the presentation of French laterals Vincent Candela's book on 18 September, delivering a stream of compliments and entertaining anecdotes about his former teammate. Totti described Candela's movement on the pitch in glowing terms: "Vincent flew on the pitch, he didn't run... he seemed like a dancer." He also praised Candela's footballing intelligence, saying he "had a head... superior to many." Candela spent much of his Roma career as a trusted full-back during the club's most prominent moments in that era. The event doubled as a chance for Totti to revisit memories with a player he shared the pitch with during some of his greatest years at the club. The book presentation drew Totti into nostalgic reflection, with the two men trading stories and laughter throughout. The gathering also touched on an incident at Trigoria in which Candela's car was damaged during a protest, a moment he addressed during the event.
