Rome Derby Stays on Sunday After Agreement with Security Authorities
Serie A and Rome security officials agreed to keep five matches at noon, avoiding a clash with the Italian Open men's final.
- The Roma Derby will kick off Sunday at 12:00 CET following an agreement between Lega Serie A and the Rome Prefect, canceling the initial order to move the match to Monday night.
- Security concerns prompted the initial move, as the Italian Open men's final takes place Sunday at the Foro Italico, adjacent to the Stadio Olimpico, to prevent crowd trouble between Roma and Lazio supporters.
- Serie A rules require teams competing for the same objective to play simultaneously on final matchdays, meaning the derby kickoff affects Como, Juventus, AC Milan, and Napoli, all vying for three Champions League spots.
- The scheduling saga turned farcical Thursday when Rome's Regional Administrative Court declined to rule on the appeal, instead inviting parties to reach their own agreement with unified security coordination.
- Roma's hardcore fan groups previously threatened to boycott the match in protest, while Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri said, "If it's on Monday, I'll come, on Sunday at 12:30 I won't.
