Rome Mayor Gualtieri: New Roma Stadium Will Be Built, a Unique Facility in Europe

Source: Roma News

Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri confirmed that AS Roma's new stadium in Pietralata will be constructed, ending decades of speculation. Speaking to ReteSport, Gualtieri said: "With the start of the decisive Services Conference, with a deadline coming soon, there is no longer any doubt: the stadium will be built. Now we just need to understand how, and that is the most interesting aspect—how it will be built, what peculiarities this facility will have." He added that the Friedkin family deserves thanks for their financial commitment and referenced former presidents Dino Viola and Franco Sensi, who expressed the desire to give Roma their own home.

Gualtieri outlined three defining features of the project. The stadium itself will feature an extraordinary curve with no rival in Europe, offering perfect sightlines from every angle and advanced acoustics creating a "crazy bowl effect." It will be architecturally distinctive and recognisable, designed by world-class stadium architects chosen by the Friedkin family. The entire Pietralata district will be regenerated with two parks—a central park and stadium park with greenery equivalent to Villa Celimontana—pedestrian paths, and trees. Critically, there will be "zero buildings" beyond the stadium, with the Friedkin Group funding the €1 billion investment entirely. The Services Conference will conclude between late August and September, followed by a formal tender managed by Roma Capitale. The club will prepare the executive project in parallel, with construction expected to begin in 2027. The stadium is forecast to open between 2030 and 2031 and has been included in Italy's five main stadiums for the Euro 2032 candidacy.

Mancini reaches 250 Serie A appearances for Roma

Gianluca Mancini made his 250th Serie A appearance for Roma in the 9th matchday fixture against Cagliari. The milestone makes him the first defender to reach 250 Serie A appearances in the giallorossi shirt in the three-points-for-a-win era, which began in 1994-95. Mancini, a Tuscan centre-back, has been with the club since July 2019, as per the club's squad records. Reaching the mark on home soil against Cagliari underlines his long service and consistency in the Roma defence under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The record is the club's own benchmark for defenders in the modern league format, and it places Mancini at the top of that list for the Roman side. Roma remain focused on building momentum in the domestic campaign.

Giallini on balancing set filming with Roma matches, and the Perfetti sconosciuti anecdote

Actor Marco Giallini, a well-known Roma fan, has described how he juggled filming commitments with his club's matches, telling the podcast Nonlofaccioxmoda that when Roma were playing, filming simply did not happen. Asked by interviewer Giulia Salemi how he managed to reconcile set commitments with Giallorossi fixtures, he answered without hesitation: "No, e chi gira!" ("No way, who's filming?"). Giallini recalled an episode during the shooting of the film Perfetti sconosciuti. Several members of the crew were rival supporters, including the director of photography and Paolo Genovese. Giallini and Mastandrea were watching the match, but their friends were ahead by 30 seconds because they were watching on television, while Giallini and Mastandrea were following it on a computer. The film needed a goal to progress, and the rivalry on set became heated. Giallini said: "Ao, aspetta un attimo!" when the crew called them back to shoot. He then continued: "Dovevamo fare un gol per passare il turno e a un certo punto sento uno dei due amici dire: 'No, fagliela guardare'." The remark immediately told him how the match would end. "E lì ho pensato: 'Non vengo più, me ne vado'. Me ne volevo andare. Io e Mastandrea ce ne siamo andati. È stata la cosa più brutta che ho ricevuto da due amici fraterni." The episode ended with the crew calling them back: "Ma dove andate? Stiamo girando un filmone!" ("Where are you going? We're shooting a great film!").

Wesley under the spotlight again over cash, supercars and social media posts

Il Messaggero has published a further look at the social media habits of Roma winger Wesley, focusing on displays of wealth, luxury cars and controversial episodes from his time at Flamengo, days after his wife Amanda Martins announced their separation on social media and accused him of repeated infidelity. The newspaper highlights one of the player's recent TikTok posts, showing stacks of 50-euro banknotes and two luxury watches placed in front of a gaming setup. The images drew attention from users and raised questions about publicly displaying high-value items. Il Messaggero notes that it is not known whether the banknotes shown are genuine or replicas. The newspaper also points to the security risks such displays could carry. In September 2025, thieves reportedly tried to break into the player's villa. In early October, Wesley showed his car collection on social media, and a few days later he was photographed behind the wheel of his Lamborghini at Ponte Milvio. Earlier content had also drawn interest over the summer, including a July video in which the Brazilian showed his wife virtual accessories he had bought for a video game, among them a digital knife costing more than 2,000 euros. Il Messaggero also revisits earlier incidents from his time in Brazil. In March 2024, while playing for Flamengo, Wesley was reported to police by a businessman over an alleged assault at a beach kiosk. The player rejected the accusation and gave a different account of the episode. In August of the same year, a video showing him at a nightclub after a defeat to Botafogo caused controversy. The report comes the day after Amanda Martins's harsh outburst on social media, in which she announced the separation and accused her husband of repeated infidelity. Those accusations are her version of events and have not been established as fact. The newspaper's main question is whether these off-pitch matters could in future affect Wesley's performances on the field. That remains a concern rather than an established consequence, as the Brazilian continues to be an important asset for Gasperini's Roma.
