Rome official calls for evening Derby della Capitale on Monday, urges zero tolerance for stadium violence

Source: Forza Roma

Alessandro Onorato, Rome's assessor for major events, sports, tourism and fashion, has called for the Derby della Capitale between Roma and Lazio to be played on Monday evening, ideally at 21:00. Speaking at the Piazza di Siena equestrian event, Onorato addressed scheduling conflicts with the Italian Open tennis final and emphasized that the city can manage simultaneous major sporting events.

Onorato stressed that Roma should not fear hosting an evening derby due to security concerns. He stated: "Rome has demonstrated it can manage any event simultaneously, we are not afraid for the Italian Open final and the derby. Logic would suggest one day for the final and the next day for the derby. If the derby is moved to Monday, let it be at 21:00 to allow everyone who works to return home or go to the stadium. In Rome we must not be afraid to play an evening derby because of possible incidents; it is time that whoever thinks of going to the stadium to cause clashes is assured of justice. We expect very clear words from the Government on this."

Onorato's comments reflect broader discussions about fixture scheduling in Rome's packed sporting calendar and a hardline stance on preventing ultras-related violence at the Stadio Olimpico. The exact date and kickoff time for the derby remain subject to confirmation.

Roma shift focus to left-back as Fofana deal stalls; Henrique in crosshairs

Roma's transfer priorities have shifted following the completion of Rodrigo Mora's signing. The club is now concentrating efforts on the left-back position and has deprioritised other targets, according to reports from Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto. Interest in Malick Fofana has cooled considerably. Roma had an agreement in place with the Belgian winger but has not given Lyon the go-ahead to negotiate further. A proposed deal worth €35 million plus add-ons was deemed excessive by the club. After restructuring the terms to bring Mora to the capital, the Fofana operation has been sidelined. Similarly, pressure on Alessio Cacciamani has been relaxed as Roma refocus their efforts elsewhere. Luis Henrique has become the priority target, with Roma now pressing hard on that front. The challenge now is to find agreement on the financial terms between player and club.
