Roma fans respond to Champions League return: nearly 10,000 cup subscriptions sold in first day

Roma's season ticket campaign for cup competitions has generated nearly 10,000 subscriptions in just over a day, demonstrating strong appetite among supporters for the 2026–27 season. The campaign launched on 12 August at noon with an exclusive pre-sale window for existing Serie A season ticket holders, and the response was immediate. The milestone was reached within hours and is expected to grow further despite complaints about price increases. The Stadio Olimpico will host Roma's Champions League and Coppa Italia matches. The first phase of the campaign runs until Wednesday 19 August, giving current Serie A subscribers the right to secure their places for the upcoming cup fixtures. General ticket sales will begin on 19 August at 3 p.m. and close on 26 August at 6 p.m., opening access to all supporters who do not hold an existing subscription.

AS Roma's cup competition season-ticket campaign for 2026–27 has generated nearly 10,000 subscriptions in its first day. Pre-sale access for existing Serie A season-ticket holders opened at noon on 12 August, and by 13 August almost 10,000 supporters had purchased tickets to follow the Giallorossi in Champions League and Coppa Italia. The campaign is expected to build momentum in the coming days. The initial phase runs until Wednesday 19 August, followed by an open sale period for all Roma supporters. The uptake underscores continued strong demand among the club's fanbase for domestic and European competition coverage.

Molina made his first training session appearance at Trigoria wearing the number 20 shirt, settling into Roma with a smile and immediately integrating with his new teammates, particularly his fellow Argentines Paulo Dybala, Matías Soulé and Castro. The winger has already struck up an early rapport with Dybala off the pitch, a connection head coach Gian Piero Gasperini hopes will translate onto it. Gasperini put Molina straight to work, with the player showing promising early signs: precise crosses, clean distribution and a desire to regain his match rhythm. Molina could make his Roma debut on Saturday against Dortmund, though likely in a limited capacity off the bench as Gasperini assesses his condition ahead of the league campaign. The Argentinian winger is targeting the Serie A opener against Fiorentina on 23 August, keen to make an immediate impact in Giallorossi colours. His right foot has already impressed during the opening training session, and Roma will look to have him up to full speed quickly as the new season approaches.
