Roma fans in province restricted from buying tickets for Torino away trip

Roma will have no away supporters at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino for the Serie A match on Monday 14 September (18:30 kickoff). The CASMS (Committee for the Analysis of the Safety of Sports Events) has prohibited the sale of visiting-section tickets to residents of Rome province following a referral from the ONMS. However, residents of Lazio outside the capital may purchase tickets, provided they hold an AS Roma season ticket. Free sales for that group begin at 10:00 on Tuesday 8 September.

Roma supporters living in Rome province have been banned from purchasing tickets for the Serie A match at Torino on Monday 14 September at 18:30 at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. The restriction prevents many Giallorossi fans from attending the fourth league matchday fixture in person under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Roma fans from elsewhere in the Lazio region may purchase tickets, but only for the away section and exclusively with a valid AS Roma membership card. The ticket sales ban applied specifically to Rome province residents represents a significant constraint on the travelling support for this fixture.

Under Gasperini's management, Roma have abandoned their defensive-first identity and emerged as one of Serie A's most creative and dangerous attacking forces. In Saturday's fixture, the club fielded two less experienced defenders in place of established players Evan N'Dicka and Gianluca Mancini—yet Roma shifted up a gear from that point on. After a season defined by the defensive solidity inherited from José Mourinho and Claudio Ranieri, the first three matches of this campaign have revealed what it means to play Gasperini football: field domination, mental strength, and a relentless goal-scoring machine. Roma have climbed to the top of Serie A's offensive statistics alongside Inter and Como—the two clubs displaying the best football this season. Beyond goals and assists, Gasperini's side matches Inter in possession percentage (63.9%, compared to Inter's 66%), but this is far from sterile possession: Roma have shot on target 26 times, the most in the league (Como second with 21), and created 17 big chances—the highest total alongside Inter, who have 13. The transformation is staggering. Two seasons ago, Roma ranked fifth in Serie A for big chances and barely ninth for shots on target. In the first three matches, Roma have also ranked among the best for successful dribbles with 29—an extraordinary figure after finishing 19th of 20 teams last season. Gasperini arrived on 6 June 2025 with a clear project: a gradual revolution built around young players and buttressed by experienced personnel. Despite market limitations that prevented him from signing the attacking player he wanted—notably Mason Greenwood—Roma have become a team of modern ideas, character, and tactical openness, playing without fear against any opponent. The gap from the squad Ranieri left behind is measured in years, not months. Ahead lie significant tests: Fenerbahçe in Istanbul, then Torino before fixtures against Inter, Como, and Real Madrid. The final three, in particular, have long been circled in red.
