The new stadium project of AS Roma has entered a decisive administrative phase. The club has officially submitted the required documents, launching procedures that could pave the way for construction of the new Pietralata stadium ahead of UEFA Euro 2032.

Key administrative decisions for the AS Roma stadium are approaching

AS Roma has officially submitted documentation to the special UEFA Euro 2032 stadium commissioner, engineer Massimo Sessa. The filing of the official application effectively triggers both the Conference of Services process and the regional PAUR authorization procedure — the final major administrative phase before construction of the new stadium can begin.

Following the submission, a series of meetings and technical reviews involving numerous public institutions and infrastructure operators will now begin. The process will include ministries, the prefecture, police authorities, heritage protection agencies, as well as technical departments from both the Lazio region and the City of Rome. Major transport and infrastructure companies will also participate, including national railway operators, energy providers, and municipal public transport agencies.

The Conference of Services process will play a decisive role in the future of the project. During this phase, every element of the stadium proposal prepared by AS Roma will undergo detailed examination. The standard duration of the procedure is 90 days, although a one-time extension of an additional 30 days may be granted if further analysis or supplementary documentation is required.

During this period, officials and technical experts will evaluate infrastructure, environmental impact, transportation systems, and public safety aspects related to the construction of the new stadium in Pietralata. Once the process is completed, all approvals are expected to be consolidated into the final PAUR document, which will serve as the formal authorization to begin construction work.

Roberto Gualtieri promises rapid start of AS Roma stadium construction

Rome mayor Roberto Gualtieri has openly confirmed that the AS Roma stadium project is considered one of the city’s priority infrastructure developments. According to the Italian politician, construction is expected to begin within the next year.

Gualtieri compared the stadium development to another major project currently underway in Rome — the construction of a modern waste-to-energy plant worth more than €1 billion. City authorities view the new Roma stadium as another strategic investment intended to modernize the Italian capital ahead of UEFA Euro 2032. Municipal officials are also aiming to complete the administrative procedures before July in order to maintain the timeline required by UEFA.

AS Roma stadium project sparks protests from Pietralata residents

Despite administrative progress, the Pietralata stadium project continues to generate controversy among some local residents. The main dispute has focused on the removal of trees required for archaeological surveys preceding construction work.

A group of local activists previously challenged the authorization issued by Rome’s environmental department concerning the removal of 26 trees. Protesters argued that the works could affect protected natural habitats and had been approved without adequate environmental and landscape assessments. The case was brought before the regional administrative court (TAR), which initially ordered a temporary suspension of the works.

However, the administrative court of the Lazio region ultimately rejected the residents’ appeal and allowed preparations for the project to continue. In its ruling, the court emphasized that some potentially protected areas had already been excluded from works pending additional environmental studies.

The court also noted that previous tree removals had only affected areas not officially classified as protected woodland. As a result, archaeological investigations required before the start of full-scale stadium construction will now be able to continue. The ruling has been viewed as a significant victory for both AS Roma and city authorities, who have strongly supported the project for months.

AS Roma stadium expected to be ready before Euro 2032

The new AS Roma stadium is expected to play an important role during UEFA Euro 2032, which will be jointly hosted by Italy and Turkey. This is precisely why Italian authorities created a special stadium commissioner office responsible for coordinating the country’s most important tournament-related infrastructure projects.

The Pietralata stadium project is expected to become one of the most modern football venues in Italy. AS Roma has long argued that the new arena will increase commercial revenues, improve fan experience, and allow the club to become independent from the city-owned Stadio Olimpico.
