Sunday's Serie A match scheduled for 12:00 to avoid conflict with tennis finals at nearby Foro Italico.
9:21 AM
The Roma-Lazio derby will kick off at noon on Sunday as part of Serie A's 37th matchday, with the fixture moved earlier to accommodate security arrangements around concurrent events in the capital.
The match is scheduled for 12:00 on May 17, ahead of the final of the Internazionali di Tennis Bnl di Roma, set to begin at 17:00 at the Foro Italico complex. Both events will draw large crowds to the same area of the city, with approximately 70,000 people expected across various zones of Rome.
Roma supporters are expected to concentrate at the Flaminio area, while Lazio fans will gather at Ponte Milvio. The Questura di Roma will oversee security operations with a substantial deployment of law enforcement personnel. A technical committee led by the prefect will convene to ensure safety in the stadium zone.
Serie A has developed an integrated security plan for the occasion, which includes the appointment of a security coordinator for the entire Foro Italico area and measures to manage public flows. The earlier kickoff time was chosen specifically to facilitate crowd management given the proximity of the tennis finals.
Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi stated that public security authorities are monitoring the situation to ensure the event proceeds smoothly. Officials said there is good cooperation between football authorities and public security agencies.
