Gualtieri confirms Roma’s new stadium construction in 2027: “It’s a historic day.” | OneFootball

Today, the Capitoline Assembly gave final approval to the feasibility study for the new AS Roma stadium, which will be built in the Pietralata neighborhood.

Immediately following the overwhelmingly positive vote, Roberto Gualtieri released several statements.

In a post shared on his X profile, the Mayor emphasized the importance of this moment: “A historic day for the city: the Capitoline Assembly has approved the technical and economic feasibility study for the new AS Roma stadium in the Pietralata area, confirming its public interest.”

Gualtieri then explained the project’s objectives: “An area that has been neglected for too many years will finally be redeveloped. This will create a new urban hub and a multifunctional infrastructure designed to be used for non-sporting events. The stadium will have a capacity of 60,605, with a 23,000-seat stand, among the largest in Europe.”

Finally, the Mayor of Rome concluded by thanking the Administration: “The entire Administration has done its utmost to ensure that the city can have a modern stadium, integrated into the urban fabric and capable of regenerating the area with new green spaces and services that can be used every day by citizens.”

Speaking to Sky, Gualtieri also speculated on a possible start date for construction: “We imagine the first stone being laid in early 2027; it’s absolutely possible. The PAO can begin quickly, and the more technical stages will be completed more quickly. The project’s timeline isn’t particularly long, and hopefully it will be well before the European Championships.”

The Mayor also thanked the Friedkins: “I thank them for their commitment; they’ve worked incredibly hard and wanted the best possible quality. They’ve decided to make a huge investment; they’ll invest a billion euros to make it all happen. The parks will be open to everyone. We’ll continue to work diligently and with commitment.”
