"Following the Regional Administrative Court's invitation to reach an agreement between the parties, the Prefect and the Police Commissioner of Rome have accepted the Lega Calcio Serie A's proposal to play the Roma-Lazio derby on Sunday, May 17, at 12:00pm. at the Stadio Olimpico."
"The agreement was reached in line with the consolidated collaboration between Lega Calcio Serie A and the Public Safety Authority, already demonstrated with the successful organization of the recent Coppa Italia final on May 13 at the Stadio Olimpico."
"This solution will allow for optimal management of the influx and outflow of spectators for the Rome match and the final of the International Tennis Championships in the same area of the Foro Italico."
"The Lega Calcio Serie A expresses satisfaction with the spirit of collaboration and institutional responsibility that has enabled the identification of a shared solution, one the League had hoped for from the outset."
All games involving teams in the Champions League race must be played at the same time for competitive fairness, but scheduling was complicated by safety concerns for the Roma vs. Lazio match. Moving the derby to Sunday lunchtime was initially rejected due to the nearby tennis final at Stadio Olimpico and concerns about crowd movement. The match was then shifted to Monday night, but it has been moved back to Sunday earlier. The final schedule sets Roma, Milan, Napoli, Juventus, and Como games to kick off on Sunday at midday (12:00 CEST). The change follows an agreement involving the Regional Administrative Court, the Rome Prefect, and the Police Commissioner, coordinated with public safety authorities.
