Fresh Concern for Lazio as Stadio Flaminio Is in Shambolic State | OneFootball

Lazio have another matter to worry about as their desired new home, Stadio Flaminio, currently lies in a state of disarray.

The Background

The Biancocelesti have been sharing the Stadio Olimpico with their arch-rivals Roma for decades, but they’re determined to have their own stadium in the coming years. The club has identified the currently defunct Stadio Flaminio as the perfect answer for their ambitious project.

Lazio Presented Their Renovation Project Earlier This Year

In March 2025, Lazio president Claudio Lotito has already presented a €450 million renovation plan to the municipality of Rome, receiving a positive, albeit unofficial, reception from the mayor who praised the project, but there hasn’t been any concrete progress on this track ever since.

The Stadio Flaminio is in a Dire State

In a new report published by La Repubblica (via La Lazio Siamo Noi), the newspaper describes the dire state of the Stadio Flaminio, highlighting how the entire facility is in a degenerating state.

The source notes that the municipality claims that the unsavoury scene is intentional, specifically designed for a movie shooting. Nevertheless, the newspaper isn’t entirely convinced by this clarification, as the stadium’s ‘guardian’ revealed that the stadium is almost being used as a junkyard.

Why Lazio Must Revive their Stadium Plans

Therefore, Lazio will be hoping that this unpalatable situation will be resolved in the coming days, as the hierarchy might aim to accelerate their stadium plans, perhaps in an effort to divert attention from their chaotic transfer market situation.
