Totti praises Candela's intelligence at book launch: 'He had a mind superior to many'

Roma will host Inter at the Stadio Olimpico on 19 September at 18:00 in a fixture that could prove decisive early in the Serie A season. Both teams arrive with four wins from four matches, though Roma will seek to reverse a negative recent record against their visitors. The club has released comprehensive guidance for the more than 60,000 supporters expected at the ground. Stadium gates will open at 15:30, with Roma recommending fans arrive at least 90 minutes before kickoff to avoid congestion at the turnstiles. From 15:00 until the match starts, supporters can visit box 4 on via Nigra for any assistance. From three hours before kickoff, the Contact Center AS Roma is available on 06.89386000, by email, or via an online form. All tickets and season passes are available exclusively in digital format on mobile devices; screenshots are not valid for entry. Roma has warned against secondary ticketing on unofficial platforms, even at discounted prices, and maintains an online form for supporters to report irregular resale activity. Three mobile merchandise stands will operate pre-match and throughout the fixture, positioned at via delle Olimpiadi, the Monte Mario piazza, and the Tevere Stand entrance near the obelisk. Accessibility services include dedicated parking for disabled supporters—via Nigra for Tevere Stand ticket holders and viale dei Gladiatori for Monte Mario Stand ticket holders, with additional spaces at viale Alberto Blanc. The "Unstoppable – Superiamo gli Ostacoli" scheme provides transport assistance for fans with mobility disabilities; KINTO, Toyota's global mobility brand and Roma's mobility service provider, supplies adapted vehicles for all home fixtures, with Civil Protection volunteers handling transfers from 09:00 to 18:00 daily and by 14:00 the day before each match. A sensory-friendly "Quiet Room" in the Monte Mario Stand offers supporters with sensory sensitivities an alternative viewing experience away from crowds, loud noise and intense lighting. Roma's "Food for the Community" initiative, conducted with the diocesan Caritas, continues to collect hospitality surplus food from the stadium for distribution to vulnerable communities in Rome.

Roma supporters hoping to travel to Como for the match on Sunday 11 October at 12:30 will face a new restriction: only fans in possession of a Roma fidelity card will be permitted to buy tickets for the away section. The club has continued its policy of limiting away allocations, though this time without territorial restrictions based on geography. Ticket sales for the away section open on 2 October at 12:00 and close on 10 October at 10:00. In addition, the club has banned ticket sales to residents of Lazio in all other stadium sections.

Rodrigo Mora, the 2007-born midfielder who arrived at Roma this summer from Porto, has outlined his ambitions at the club in an interview with Sky Sport Insider. Mora praised Paulo Dybala as a player of exceptional quality who needs no words to communicate on the pitch. "With Paulo, he's a player that doesn't need words: you look at him and you understand," Mora said. "Every time he touches the ball, you can expect something that few know how to do: that pass that others don't even see, that move that changes the match. Off the pitch he welcomed me brilliantly from day one—he's a very humble and available person, and I'm truly grateful for how he helped me settle in." Mora also recalled a conversation with former manager José Mourinho upon his arrival. "When I came, we spoke a bit," he explained. "He told me how much he loves this club, how much he likes Roma and how special the relationship with the city is. It wasn't a long conversation, but he's a great coach and a great person, and I'm truly grateful for the words he spent on me. He made me feel welcome." Mourinho had previously stated that Mora possessed all the qualities to win over Roma's supporters. On his long-term objectives, Mora was clear about his ambitions: "I want to win titles. It's the most important objective I have, the one that drives me every morning when I arrive to train. I want to win them with Roma, in this city, with these fans, and I want to do it as a protagonist, giving my contribution on the pitch."
