AS Roma's new Pietralata stadium will generate €154 million in net revenue during its first year of operation in 2031, according to financial projections approved following clearance from the Conferenza dei Servizi. The 60,605-capacity ground, featuring a South Curva with nearly 23,000 seats, represents a fundamental shift in the club's economic model. For the Friedkin Group, the project serves as both a symbolic home and a principal economic engine designed to narrow the financial gap with Europe's leading clubs. Construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2027.
The revenue model is heavily weighted toward hospitality and ticketing. Hospitality is forecast as the largest revenue stream at €71.6 million, covering premium areas, corporate services and high-value commercial packages, while ticket sales are projected to contribute €47.8 million. Together, these two categories will account for nearly three-quarters of total first-year revenue. The remaining €36.2 million comes from naming rights (€7.8 million), sponsorships (€7.8 million), food and beverage (€4.5 million), non-match events (€4.4 million), museum and stadium tours (€3.5 million), parking (€3.1 million), business events (€2.1 million) and merchandising (approximately €1 million).
This multifunctional design positions Pietralata as a year-round revenue generator rather than a match-day facility alone, enabling Roma to directly control commercial assets currently beyond their reach while sharing the Stadio Olimpico. The diversified income structure mirrors the financial model of Europe's elite clubs, structurally increasing Roma's earnings and competitive capacity.
