Rome Stadium Project Halted: Administrative Court Suspends Work Until 13 May

Roma's Serie A fixture at Bologna on 4 December could be played without Roma supporters in attendance. The match clashes with a Virtus Bologna basketball fixture against Partizan Belgrade in the EuroLeague on the same evening, and authorities are concerned about public order given the rivalry between the two clubs' fanbases. Officials are considering a ban on Roma fans traveling to the Stadio Dall'Ara. In the transfer market, Roma are preparing concrete moves for the January window. Giorgi Kvernadze, a Georgian winger, fits the club's criteria for young signings and has emerged as a potential target. Roma's management would be willing to move toward the €25 million asking price set by Frosinone to accelerate negotiations, though Hull City and Borussia Dortmund have also registered interest in the player. Manu Koné continued his strong form with France in a 1–0 Nations League victory over Turkey, deployed as a central midfielder in a 4-3-3 formation—a different role from his usual position. Zinedine Zidane praised the Roma midfielder after the match, saying: "Manu is not used to playing in that position, I wanted to see this side of him and he was very good in terms of balance." Two analysts also discussed Roma midfielder Nico Pisilli, with one noting his five appearances have included good performances but a normal pattern of variation, while the other highlighted errors in his latest outing despite generally strong displays.

Roma supporters could be banned from attending the away match against Bologna on 4 December at the Dall'Ara, though no official decision has yet been made. The potential restriction is under consideration by the relevant authorities in the coming weeks, primarily due to a clash of major sporting events in the city on that date. The concern centres on the scheduling of two significant fixtures simultaneously in Bologna. Virtus Bologna will play Eurolega host Partizan Belgrado at the PalaDozza at 20:30 on 4 December, the same day as Bologna versus Roma at the Dall'Ara. The presence of multiple supporter groups in the city on the same day has prompted public-order evaluations; the fan bases of both Virtus and Partizan are known for their strong followings, and this concurrence is among the factors being weighed. The decision to restrict or ban Roma's travelling support remains under review pending any official determinations. Bologna away trips have faced restrictions before. In March 2026, during the previous season's Bologna–Roma match, the Osservatorio prohibited ticket purchases for residents of Rome province.

Paulo Dybala and Nahuel Molina will not travel to Argentina for Lionel Messi's final international match, despite receiving invitations to attend. The Roma club and head coach Gian Piero Gasperini have jointly decided against the intercontinental trip that would have seen the pair reach Buenos Aires on 6 October. The decision allows Gasperini to maintain the full availability of both players throughout the international break and into the resumption of the league campaign.
