Roma travel to Udine for Serie A matchday 10 of 2026-27, facing Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium, just days after their home win over Cagliari. Ahead of the match, the club has issued practical guidance for supporters following the team to Friuli, covering tickets, transport, stadium access and things to see in the city.
Away-section tickets went on sale on Friday 23 October at 16:00 through the official TicketOne platform, priced at 40 euros. Sales end on Saturday 31 October at 18:00, which coincides with kick-off. Udinese have confirmed there are no territorial restrictions on away fans. To buy, supporters must follow the AS Roma Card authorisation procedure, indicated by the Giallorossi on the TicketOne Sport portal.
Tickets for the away section cannot be bought at the stadium on matchday. Roma therefore advise supporters to travel only if they already hold a valid entry ticket. Full updated information is available in the club's official communication.
The train is one of the most practical options from the capital, especially for those wishing to avoid a long car journey. High-speed services run from Roma Termini or Roma Tiburtina towards northern Italy, continuing in the direction of Udine. Depending on the options available, the journey may involve a change at Venezia Mestre or be a direct service. The total journey generally takes between five and a half and seven hours, depending on stops, connections and the service chosen. Fans should check timetables on the Trenitalia and Italo websites. From Udine station, urban bus line 9 links the station and the bus station with the Bluenergy Stadium area. Services and frequencies should be verified before departure, particularly for the return journey after the match.
Long-distance coaches are an alternative, with FlixBus offering links between Rome and Udine, usually departing from Roma Tiburtina bus station. Some routes involve intermediate changes. The trip is considerably longer than by train, taking around nine to eleven hours or more depending on the route. Prices, stops and availability should be checked at the time of booking. For a 18:00 kick-off, it is advisable to choose an option that allows arrival in Udine with sufficient time, including the transfer to the stadium.
By car, the road distance between Rome and Udine is about 650 kilometres, depending on the starting point and route. The journey takes roughly seven to eight hours, excluding stops and any delays. The most common route follows the A1 motorway towards Florence and Bologna, then continues towards Padua, Venice and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The Bluenergy Stadium, located at piazzale Repubblica Argentina 3, can be reached via the A23 motorway and the exits signposted for the stadium area. Those coming from Venice and Trieste should leave at the Udine Sud toll booth, continue on the Tangenziale Ovest towards Tarvisio and follow signs for the Stadio Friuli – Ospiti Curva Sud exit. Traffic restrictions and dedicated routes for away supporters may be in place on match days, so fans should check local authority communications before setting off.
By air, Trieste-Ronchi dei Legionari airport, about 40 kilometres from Udine, is the reference airport. The availability of flights from Rome Fiumicino should be checked against the travel date. From Trieste Airport station, close to the terminal, trains connect to Udine, or public transport can be used. Once in the city, line 9 reaches the stadium area. Allowing for airport times, checks and the final transfer, flying is not necessarily more convenient than the train.
The Bluenergy Stadium, historically known as Stadio Friuli, is Udinese's home ground. It sits in the Rizzi district, about four kilometres from the city centre. Opened in 1976, it underwent a major renovation that profoundly transformed the structure, making it one of Italy's most modern football venues. It holds around 25,000 spectators, with covered seating and stands designed for good sightlines. The absence of traditional barriers between the stands and the pitch is one of its distinctive features, and the redevelopment brought the stands closer to the playing surface, creating a particularly atmospheric setting.
From Udine city centre, supporters can use public transport, a taxi or a car. A taxi from the station to the stadium covers roughly five to six kilometres, taking about 10 to 15 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying by service and time of day. Walking from the city centre takes around an hour, depending on the starting point. For Roma supporters, the specific instructions for access to the away section always take precedence over standard road and pedestrian routes.
Udine is a city rich in history, art and tradition, with an elegant historic centre that is easy to explore on foot. Visitors arriving a few hours before the match will find plenty to see. Among the highlights is Via Mercatovecchio, one of the most characteristic streets in the old town, lined with historic palazzi and arcades, and once a main commercial hub of the city.

Roma are due to face Udinese in Serie A matchday 10 of 2026-27 at the Bluenergy Stadium, with kick-off at 18:00 on Saturday 31 October, according to Roma News. Away-section tickets cost 40 euros and went on sale through the official TicketOne platform on Friday 23 October, with sales closing at kick-off. Udinese have confirmed there are no territorial restrictions, but Roma News says away tickets cannot be bought at the stadium on matchday and advises fans to travel only with a valid entry ticket already held.
Forza Roma describes a much larger movement, reporting that around 10,000 supporters will fill away sections in Udine and Manchester this week, with about 5,000 expected at the stadium, which it calls the Dacia Arena, and around 3,000 at Old Trafford on Tuesday for Champions League action. It says many fans have already booked flights to England and will travel without tickets, a picture that sits uneasily with Roma News' warning. Roma News also sets out travel options: the train takes five and a half to seven hours, a coach nine to eleven hours or more, and driving about seven to eight hours over roughly 650 kilometres. Flying into Trieste-Ronchi dei Legionari is an option, though Roma News says it is not necessarily quicker than the train.
Roma News describes the stadium as opening in 1976, holding around 25,000 spectators and notable for having no barriers between the stands and the pitch. Forza Roma adds that Roma host Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico before the international break, where fans traditionally sing Marco Conidi's "Mai sola mai" before kick-off.
