Roma statement on Manchester away-day treatment of fans and ticketing dispute

Source: Retesport

AS Roma have responded after Retesport broadcast the complaint of a Roma supporter, Emanuele, who said he was mistreated by local authorities and stewards in Manchester during pre-match security checks. Retesport says it gave a voice to the testimony after numerous messages from other Roma fans, received on air and privately, who reported similar alleged abuses outside the stadium.

Retesport says it contacted AS Roma before publishing the claims. According to the broadcaster, the club's staff responsible for supporter relations and away-travel logistics worked throughout the evening, both before and during the match, to resolve the problems raised by Emanuele and other supporters in similar situations. The club also followed, up until the morning of 6 November, the case of a Roma fan who was arrested and later released. Retesport presents this as evidence of the club's constant commitment to resolving, where possible, any problem facing supporters travelling with the team.

On fans who held tickets for sectors other than the away end and were escorted out of the stadium during the first half, Retesport says it was not possible for them to buy a seat in the stands, as this would have breached the stadium's regulations on use of the venue.

Retesport said it acknowledged the club's full availability and willingness to cooperate, which it said the club showed again in this case. However, the broadcaster argues that, more generally, when episodes of this kind occur, the club should be able to take a public position in support of its supporters, because some accounts point to treatment that amounts at the very least to absolute incivility. It also warned that security measures appear excessively restrictive where they risk crossing the line from legitimate public order protection into repression, even if only indirect, against supporters.

Rodrigo Mora called up by Portugal for first senior squad under Jorge Jesus

Roma midfielder Rodrigo Mora has been called up to the senior Portugal squad for the first time, earning his first selection with the national team during the international break. Head coach Jorge Jesus included the Roma forward in his list for Portugal's decisive UEFA Nations League matches against Denmark and Wales. Mora has made a strong start to the season under Gian Piero Gasperini at Roma. The Portugal boss has praised his contribution in the Italian capital, highlighting his impact in attack. Mora has scored and provided assists for Roma this season, and his form has earned him a place in Portugal's plans for the two fixtures. During the squad announcement press conference, Jesus was asked about how Mora might be used tactically, drawing a comparison with João Félix for the role behind the central striker. He said: "They have the qualities to play that position very well." On Mora's time at Roma, Jesus added: "At Roma, Rodrigo has been very involved in the offensive phase, scoring goals and providing assists. He fits perfectly into what I have in mind for these two games." Portugal face Denmark first on 14 November in Braga, before closing their Nations League group three days later, on 17 November, away to Wales in Cardiff. The call-up gives the young Roma talent the chance to make his mark on the international stage.

Roma fans cleared to travel to Bologna as Virtus-Partizan basketball game moved

Roma supporters will be able to attend the Bologna fixture at the Dall'Ara on 4 December, after the local authorities gave the go-ahead. The basketball match between Virtus Bologna and Partizan Belgrade, originally scheduled for Friday 4 December at 20.30 at the PalaDozza, has been brought forward to Thursday 3 December. The decision was linked to a public order issue and, above all, to the need to avoid a clash with another sporting event in the Emilian city. Tickets for the Roma fixture are not yet on sale. Until the meeting of the Osservatorio, the body overseeing matches, away tickets will remain unavailable. Supporters from the Lazio region will only be able to buy tickets for the away sector, and only if they hold a Roma Fidelity Card. Fans will therefore have to wait a few more days before they can secure a seat, but the club's travelling supporters will be able to be present at the stadium.
