Stadio Olimpico Stadium

Address: Viale dei Gladiatori, Foro Italico, 00135 Rome, Italy

Stadio Olimpico is Rome’s main sports stadium in the Foro Italico district and serves as the principal venue for top-tier football and major athletics events. It is the home ground for both AS Roma and SS Lazio and has hosted Olympic and World Cup events.

Spectators see a multi-tiered bowl with athletics track and stands that accommodate roughly 70,000 people, with distinct home and away sections during club matches. The stadium also hosts the Coppa Italia final, international fixtures and occasional concerts, so event types vary through the year.

The site evolved from earlier 20th century sporting facilities and was redeveloped for large international competitions in the mid-20th century, with later renovations to meet modern safety and broadcast standards. It has repeatedly been updated rather than fully replaced, preserving its role as Rome’s principal stadium.

Situated in northern Rome within the Foro Italico sports complex, the stadium lies a few kilometres north of the city centre and is accessible by metro and bus from central Rome.
