What happened. Roma's new stadium at Pietralata received formal approval on Monday afternoon, as the Conferenza dei Servizi signed off the technical and economic feasibility project. The decision was announced around 13:15 by Commissioner Massimo Sessa.
- Mayor Gualtieri says first stone could be laid in March, with construction taking two and a half years.
- Sports Minister Abodi notes the approval process took 90 days instead of the available 270.
- Attention now turns to the tender process, with the club and Comune working to accelerate it.
“At this point the Roma stadium is a certainty and it will be built.”
— Roberto Gualtieri
The approval paves the way for construction, with hopes to start in 2027, Roma's centenary year, and Lazio's stadium plans also progressing.
