Successful meeting with Rome’s mayor highlights vision for AS Roma’s new stadium

AS Roma’s top management, represented by Vice President Ryan Friedkin and CEO Lina Souloukou, met with the Mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, this week, to discuss the exciting plans for the Club’s new stadium.

The meeting was marked by a shared enthusiasm for 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, Vice President, AS Roma, expressing his excitement about the project following, 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 make 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.

Mirko Cucchiarelli, Head of Premium Sales & Business Community at AS Roma, will be joining us for the 2024 SVB LIVE Conference & Exhibition this October, for which Populous is a sponsor, with Declan Sharkey, Global Director, one of some 50+ industry expert speakers.

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.

Populous is working with AS Roma on this incredible stadium, which will become a global icon for the club, the city, and for football around the world.
