Roma unveil centenary kit concept honouring 1927 founding clubs

Gian Piero Gasperini has a full squad to select from as Roma prepare for their upcoming match against Inter, with Mario Hermoso back available after injury. The head coach spent time on personal grooming today, getting a new haircut in the lead-up to what is already shaping up as a heavyweight fixture worth far more than three points. A photo shared by his barber on social media quickly circulated among Roma fans. Gasperini will make his final selection decisions in the coming hours. His barber, Gennaro, posted about the visit: "When the boss comes by, there's not much to say. Even the details make the difference. See you next time."

Roma are already working on kits for the approaching 2027-28 centenary season, with designs set to pay tribute to the three clubs that merged to form AS Roma in 1927. According to specialist outlet FootyHeadlines, the three kits will reference the colours and designs of Alba-Audace, Fortitudo-ProRoma, and the Foot Ball Club di Roma—also known as Roman—the three societies whose fusion created the Giallorossi. Each shirt will echo the visual identity of one of the founding clubs, honouring the club's origins. Further renderings and previews of the new kits are expected in the coming months, which will reveal the full designs for the centenary campaign.

Paulo Dybala will be one of the main protagonists in the forthcoming EA Sports FC 27 video game, featuring in a new promotional video released by EA Sports FC Latam on social media. The Argentine forward will serve as the Latin American mentor in 'The Grounds', a new game mode partly set in the 'Barrio', a neighbourhood inspired by the Argentine and South American areas where Dybala grew up. The community selected Dybala as an icon of South American football both on and off the pitch. He appears in the promotional content with controller in hand and mate on his desk.
