Lazio are considering leaving the Stadio Olimpico by making the city’s Stadio Flaminio their new home, it has emerged this evening.
The Biancocelesti currently share the 80,000 capacity Olimpico with city rivals Roma, which they rent from the Italian Olympic Committee, but the club have hinted in recent seasons that they want an arena all of their own.
Now the Mayor of Rome, Walter Veltroni, has revealed that talks are set to take place regarding a possible switch.
However, the proposed move will only occur if the Flaminio is renovated and has its capacity increased to around 40,000.
Should that be made possible then it is likely that the stadium, which was used by both capital clubs while the Olimpico was renovated for Italia ’90, will then be shared by Lazio and the Italian Rugby Union side.
