Lazio present project to renovate Rome's Stadio Flaminio

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 17 - Lazio on Tuesday presented their project to renovate Rome's Stadio Flaminio and make it the new home of the Serie A club. The complex has fallen into a state of neglect after the Italian national rugby team stopped using it for its Six Nations games following the 2011 tournament and moved to the larger Stadio Olimpico. "Today we're not simply presenting a building project, we're presenting a vision," said Lazio Chairman Claudio Lotito. "What we do today will impact future generations. "The redevelopment of the Stadio Flaminio isn't just about Lazio, it's about Rome, its urban history, and its ability to look to the future with responsibility". The club currently plays its home games at the Stadio Olimpico, which is owned by the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI). AS Roma, who play at the Olimpico too, plan to build a totally new stadium in the Pietralata area of the capital. Lotito said Lazio have already presented a formal expression of interest in the renovated Stadio Flaminio hosting matches at Euro 2032, which Italy will co-host with Turkey. "It is an act of responsibility and vision to put Rome and the Stadio Flaminio in a position to participate in a major international event, should the technical and institutional requirements allow it," Lotito said. "We are aware that the venue selection process will be competitive and that our city is expected to field multiple candidates. "For this very reason, we want to address this issue methodically, transparently, and with planning. "The Stadio Flaminio was created for the 1960 Olympics. "Today, it can aspire, with balance and seriousness, to return to the circuit of major European events". Most of Lazio's season-ticket holders did not attend the club's last two home matches in protect at Lotito's running of the club and his failure to build a team capable of competing for the Serie A title or international trophies. They are currently ninth in the league table, 28 points behind leaders Inter. (ANSA). Read article...

Red card for Juve's Kalulu was clear mistake says referees' chief

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 16 - Italy's referees selector Gianluca Rocchi has admitted that the decision to send off Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu for a second yellow card in his side's 3-2 defeat to Serie A leaders Inter at San Siro on Saturday was a clear mistake amid a massive furore over the decision. Kalulu was given a second booking by referee Federico La Penna for a foul on Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni, although TV replays showed that Bastoni dived. The Italy centre-back then went on to celebrate getting his opponent red-carded with his team mates to boot. The VAR was unable to do anything because the protocol does not allow it to intervene with second yellow cards, only direct red cards. "We are very sorry about this episode," Rocchi told ANSA via telephone on Sunday, "about La Penna's decision, which was clearly wrong, and about the fact that we were unable to use VAR to correct it. "La Penna is mortified and we are supportive of him. "But I have to tell you the truth - he is not the only one who made a mistake because yesterday there was a clear simulation. "It is latest in a long series in a championship in which they try in every way to screw us". Bastoni and his wife closed comments on their social media profiles after being hit by a wave of insults and threats following the incident. "Poor child that has a such a disgusting father," read one comment on a family photo posted on Instagram. "It'll be so beautiful when you die together with your children," said another. Saturday's victory keeps Inter eight points clear of second-placed AC Milan, who won 2-1 at Pisa on Friday and have a game in hand. Champions Napoli are third with 50 points, 11 behind Inter, and AS Roma are fourth with 47 after the two sides battled out a 2-2 draw in Naples on Sunday. Juventus are one point further back in fifth. (ANSA). Read article...
