The Rome derby will be played next Sunday at 12:30. This was announced by the CEO of the Serie A league, Luigi De Siervo, on the program "La politica nel pallone" on Gr Parlamento-Radio Rai, regarding the scheduling of the Roma-Lazio match on the day of the Italian Open tennis final: "Trying to balance all the needs, from public order to the Italian Open final, and the requirements for simultaneous matches in the last two rounds of the championship, I am convinced that the solution of 12:30 on Sunday, which, as mentioned, will also involve four other matches, could satisfy everyone," said the manager.
Other proposals, such as playing the match on Monday evening, were described by De Siervo as "fanciful or impossible, because they would involve many different entities and hundreds of thousands of people traveling on a weekday." He also added that "having matches with the same stakes played simultaneously helps to protect the integrity of the championship." The Serie A league is expected to officially announce the schedule for the 37th round tomorrow.
