According to Calcio e Finanza, as AS Roma's new stadium project at Pietralata enters its final phase, Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri stated that he also hopes to expedite Lazio's project to redevelop the Stadio Flaminio, with the goal of declaring it a matter of public interest by the end of this year.

Gualtieri said in an interview with Radio Radio: "We hope to declare the Lazio project a matter of public interest by the end of this year. The requirements put forward by the Superintendent of Cultural Heritage can be resolved."

Currently, Lazio still needs to adjust its plans according to requirements set by the Superintendent of Cultural Heritage, including preserving the existing roof structure while ensuring that new second-tier pillars do not obstruct the external perimeter of Stadio Flaminio. These requirements have prompted Lazio's technical team to significantly modify the initial design, but this represents only a temporary delay in project progress, not a halt.

Gualtieri said: "The preliminary service conference produced positive results while also raising certain demands. However, the project can be adapted, and the club is currently discussing with the Superintendent of Cultural Heritage. Once this phase is complete, we can declare the project a matter of public interest, which is a prerequisite for advancing the next procedures, including final design and the determinative service conference."

Regarding the timeline for final approval, Gualtieri stated: "We believe final approval will not take long. What is the current condition of Stadio Flaminio? Shameful; it is an architectural masterpiece left abandoned, unused for a long time, and located right in the city center."

Gualtieri then spoke about AS Roma's project to build a new stadium at Pietralata. He confirmed that construction is currently planned to formally begin in March 2027, with the new stadium expected to be operational between 2029 and 2030.

Gualtieri said: "After so much talk and so many disappointing attempts, this stadium will truly be built this time. Roma's previous new stadium projects have gone through a series of failures, and we do not want to make the same mistakes again. However, the stadium Roma wants to build under the Friedkin family will be very beautiful and compact, relatively small in scale, creating a truly atmospheric venue. The Curva Sud will feature a 'wall' design and offer excellent sightlines."

Gualtieri finally emphasized that the new stadium is not merely a sports facility project: "I also want to stress that the stadium will be the centerpiece of an entire area redevelopment project, and this area will ultimately become a jewel. A public park will be built here, accessible by metro, rail, and of course by car, as new parking will also be constructed. This will replace the current slum area, where there was barely anything before, just some illegal structures."
