Since the earliest
Roman times sporting events have always figured prominently
in the Roman Calendar. These days bloodthirsty gladiatorial
combat has been replaced with soccer matches at the
Olympic Stadium involving one of Rome's two great
football teams Lazio and Roma. In AS Roma and
SS Lazio will both be playing in the UEFA cup.
Every Sunday from September until
the end of May it's possible to view a football match
at the Stadio Olimpico and for more information on
how to get tickets and directions please contact the
