AS Roma executives met with the mayor of Rome today to discuss progress on planning a new stadium for the club. Plenty of visuals were also officially unveiled. What will the facility look like?

Fruitful meeting between club and city representatives

As AS Roma relays in an official communiqué, the meeting with the mayor of Rome was full of enthusiasm about the innovative stadium project and its benefits for fans and the community. A video presentation of the project received positive reactions. It showed the modern design and unique vision of the stadium, which is sure to stand out not only in Italy, but also in Europe. The centerpiece of the new stadium will be the Curva Sud, which is expected to be the largest stand on the continent.

The two sides have agreed on an action plan to advance the new stadium project, including the creation of working groups focusing on various aspects. These groups will ensure that the project runs smoothly, with an emphasis on environmental standards and community involvement.

Roman-architecture-inspired stadium

Ryan Friedkin, the club's vice president, relayed: It was an honor to meet today with the mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, and present our vision for the new stadium. This remarkable stadium is not only a new home for AS Roma and its fans, but also a landmark for all the people of Rome. Set to become the largest in Europe, the new Curva Sud will be a powerful focal point that embodies the passion and energy of our fans. With an iconic design inspired by classic Roman architecture and state-of-the-art amenities, the stadium will offer a world-class experience for everyone from soccer fans to the local community. As proud stewards of AS Roma, we are committed to creating a space that embodies the spirit and tradition of our club, while becoming a global symbol of innovation and excellence and a model of environmental responsibility.

In the creation of AS Roma's stadium project, Populous was involved. This is not the first time this architectural firm has collaborated with a football club. Below are some of the renderings.
