The Latest AS Roma News
Roma today received a major boost in their long-term quest to build their own stadium as Mayor of Rome Virginia Raggi confirmed that the Stadio Della Roma project can commence.
Plans for the Stadio Della Roma have been in place for several years, but the project has hit roadblock after roadblock, causing construction to be delayed. However, today Roma finally took a firm step forward with their ambitions to open their own stadium, with Raggi's announcement confirming that ground could even be broken before the end of the year. At a press conference, Raggi stated: "Thank you for being here, and thank you to Professor Dalla Chiara, who took care of the opinion on the Tor di Valle stadium and the engineer Brinchi. We are here to illustrate the opinion of the Politecnico di Torino [who had produced a report on how traffic issues would be resolved around the stadium]. "Let’s say immediately: the stadium will be built and that the proponents, if they want, can begin construction as early as this year. The investments will lead to the redevelopment of a degraded area. Building this stadium is the correct choice. I requested this opinion from the Politecnico di Torino, even though I wasn’t obliged to do so, to ensure it would bring a real benefit to the citizens, despite it being already approved by the Conferenza dei Servizi. Their opinion now reassures and confirms this fact. "The change made on the initial project is, however, positively impacting the city. The administration is in favour of public works and works that bring benefits to citizens. This will be a work that complies with all European and environmental regulations. The opinion will be published today in full." Among the issues that had previously delayed the stadium were transport and parking problems, as well as environmental concerns. However, Roma now have the all-clear to commence work on the stadium, which will prove to be an important source of revenue for the club and the city. Club vice-president Mauro Baldissoni outlined the next steps for the project on the club's official website. "All that remains now is to go through the few outstanding technical and administrative steps to complete the final approval. First of those will be the approval of the ‘urban variation’. We are continuing to work closely with the administration on that. Everything has been discussed, there are no contentious points still to be resolved. All that remains is to address a couple of technical issues, which will then allow a date to be set for the final vote on the variation. "Then, once that is done, the project can be passed on to Lazio Regione, who will issue the final building permits. We expect that will conclude everything as far as the approval process goes, and hopefully as soon as possible. "It is about time the city got the opportunity to see the results of all these discussions and all this investment, and that Roma can finally begin construction of the stadium."
