Following the violent clashes before the Derby della Capitale, both Lazio and Roma supporters are banned from attending the next three Serie A away fixtures.

The game ended 1-1 at the Stadio Olimpico, but the trouble was before kick-off, when both sets of supporters tried to face off in the streets around Ponte Milvio and were kept apart by a police cordon.

When they were unable to attack each other, the ultras turned on the police instead, throwing bottles and other objects.

The local authorities generally restrict the high-risk games like the Rome Derby from being played in the evening to avoid crowd trouble.

Lazio and Roma fans given travel ban

Now they have reacted by banning both Lazio and Roma supporters from buying tickets for the next three Serie A away matches.

The Interior Minister has also ordered that from next season, high-risk fixtures will be scheduled during the daytime and not in the evening.

It is believed that earlier kick-offs make it easier to police the situation.

  1. Play the derby slightly earlier so when it ends is not yet dark. Maybe a kick off at 5:45pm would make everyone happy

    @omar light punishment? If anything is absurd (maybe not for roma as technically the away side)
