A.S. Roma Unveils Populous Designs for New Stadium and Community District

The designs showcase the project’s innovative nature and the numerous benefits it promises for both football fans and the wider community. The release of the project’s video presentation has garnered an enthusiastic response, showcasing the unique vision and modern design of the new stadium. Key to this vision is the new Curva Sud, set to become the largest in Europe, which will stand as a testament to the unwavering passion of AS Roma’s supporters.

Ryan Friedkin, expressing his excitement about the project, stated:

It was an honour to meet today with the Mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, and present our vision for the new stadium. This extraordinary stadium is not only a new home for AS Roma and its fans but also a landmark for all the citizens of Rome. The new Curva Sud, set to become the largest Curva in Europe, will be a powerful focal point that embodies the passion and energy of our supporters. With its iconic design inspired by classical Roman architecture and state-of-the-art facilities, the stadium will offer a world-class experience to everyone, from football fans to the local community. As proud custodians 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.

The commitment to making the new stadium a model of environmental responsibility aligns with the club’s values and the broader goals of the city of Rome, as reminded by Rome’s Mayor.

Both parties discussed and agreed on a roadmap to advance the project, including the establishment of working groups that will focus on various aspects of the development. These groups will ensure that the project proceeds smoothly, with careful attention to environmental standards and community engagement.

AS Roma and its leadership are dedicated to creating a landmark that not only enhances the fan experience but also contributes positively to the community and the environment. The new stadium project is poised to become a symbol of pride for the club, its fans and the city of Rome.

Declan Sharkey, Senior Principal and General Manager of Populous Italia, said:

This new world-class stadium for A.S. Roma will provide an incredible home for the club’s tifosi and serve as a significant new destination for the citizens of Rome and beyond. The stadium’s iconic design, in an elevated location in Pietralata, with views across the city and beautiful surrounding landscaping, means it will become one of the most iconic and recognisable in world football. Its benefits in enhancing the fan experience and bringing together supporters and the community will be felt for generations of AS Roma fans to come.
