Roma's new stadium gets the green light: A Curva Sud to rival the Yellow Wall

Monday's decisive services conference gave Roma the go-ahead to build at Pietralata. We break down what has been approved, the €1bn+ investment, the giant Curva Sud, when Roma could actually play there, why leaving the Olimpico matters and why the ghost of Tor di Valle still makes fans cautious.

For decades, a new stadium has been the great unfinished promise of AS Roma. On Monday, it finally became a reality on paper. The decisive Conferenza dei Servizi approved the club's project for a new stadium at Pietralata, in the north-east of Rome, and the authorisation was signed by government commissioner Massimo Sessa and countersigned by Rome mayor Roberto Gualtieri.

"The new Roma stadium at this point is a certainty, it will happen," Gualtieri said.

For Romanisti, who have heard similar promises many times before, those words carry enormous weight.
