Roma CEO Pietro Berardi presented the feasibility study of a new stadium to the City of Rome today as the club look to start the process of building their new home.

Calcio e Finanza details how the Giallorossi are hoping to build their stadium in the Pietralata area, abandoning the Tor di Valle project. The club’s goal is to have a new facility built by 2027, their centenary year, but this will not be easy to achieve. Despite this, Roma are pushing ahead, keen to get things moving as soon as possible.

The mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri, after receiving Roma’s feasibility study, convened the services conference, who’ll have the task of analysing the proposal before presenting it to the public.

Roma have revised their capacity goals since their previous Tor di Valle plans; that stadium was proposed to hold around 55,000 fans but this wasn’t enough to host international events like the Champions League or European Championship finals, pushing the club to raise it to a base 60,000 capacity, which could even be extended up to a capacity of 65,000.

Roma’s management are now focused on defining how much this new stadium would cost. Due to the fact that this was only a feasibility study, exact figures haven’t been given yet and these would be hard to predict due to the fluctuating price of raw materials. The goal is for the new stadium to be financially sustainable and the club hope to entice legions of season ticket holders.

The project is still in the early stages but it’s an important step forward for Roma as they work to leave the Stadio Olimpico, which is owned by the City of Rome, limiting revenues and flexibility.
