AS Roma wins services approval for Pietralata stadium, Eis statement
AS Roma announced on Monday the launch of construction for the new Pietralata stadium, marking a historic shift after 73 years at the Estádio Olímpico. Eis the official communiqué, the club confirmed it will abandon the iconic venue and begin work on a modern, sustainable home.
Services conference clears way
The club’s statement highlighted the conclusion of the Conferenza dei Servizi, known locally as the Serviços conference, which declared the project of public utility. It called the decision a ‘fundamental and historic step’ for AS Roma, rewarding years of work by the Friedkin family and their partners. The declaration paves the way for the stadium’s construction.
Roma prepares to leave Estádio Olímpico
After seven‑plus decades in the Estado Olímpico, AS Roma will say goodbye to the historic Estádio Olímpico that has hosted countless memories. The move ends a 73‑year chapter for the capital’s emblematic club. Fans will watch the transition as the new ground rises in Pietralata.
The communiqué thanked Roma Capitale, the UEFA Euro 2032 commissioner, the Regione Lazio and the Minister of Sport and Youth for their support. It also praised the professionals, collaborators and, above all, the supporters who have waited with passion and confidence. Their backing is presented as essential to the project’s success.
AS Roma describes the new stadium as a modern, sustainable landmark that will serve both the club and the city. It is envisioned as a heritage site for Rome, capable of generating new opportunities, spurring urban requalification and delivering lasting benefits to the community.
According to the president of the Rome Chamber, Rodrigo Mora, construction will commence in early 2027 and is expected to be completed in roughly three years. The schedule aligns with the club’s ambition to have the venue ready for future competitions. This timeline was confirmed in the official release.
The project plans nearly 12 hectares of public green space around the site, enhancing the neighbourhood’s environment. The club shared these details in a tweet on 28 September 2026, linking to images of the proposed layout. The post underscored the city‑wide impact of the development.
From today, AS Roma embarks on a new phase that aims to match its storied history with ambitious infrastructure. The Pietralata stadium promises to cement the club’s future while contributing to Rome’s urban renewal.
