AS Roma's new stadium at Pietralata has received final approval, according to Sky Sport. The decision was announced on Monday, September 28, 2026, and clears the way for construction work to begin at the site.
Sky Sport reported the news as official, and the club published its own statement on the Pietralata project. La Repubblica reported that the definitive green light means work can now start. RomaToday reported that the final approval followed the closing of a services conference, the multi-party administrative meeting that brings together the bodies involved in signing off on a major public project.
The timing matters because the club is now working toward a deadline linked to Euro 2032, the European Championship that Italy is due to co-host. RomaToday framed the situation as a race against time to have the venue ready for the tournament. The project would give Roma a permanent home of its own, replacing the club's long-standing arrangement of sharing the Stadio Olimpico.
The approval also drew a reaction beyond Rome. ANSA reported that sports minister Abodi said he hopes the project for the Flaminio stadium will also move forward, a reference to a separate venue plan in the city.
What to watch next is the start of construction at Pietralata and whether the work stays on schedule for Euro 2032, along with any movement on the Flaminio project that Abodi mentioned.
