Rome Soccer Tours - Whether you are coming
to Rome on vacation or business, you simply
have to experience the thrill of a football
match!
Our Rome soccer tours get
you tickets to AS Roma or SS Lazio home games,
but
don't delay, tickets sell out quickly because
both teams attract fanatical support. We've
also included links to accommodation, flight,
train and car rental packages on this page,
to let you build the most suitable way to
see the big games for yourself.
The
Stadio Olimpico is home to both Roma and
Lazio and was built for the 1960 Olympic
games. Both sides previously played in the
Flaminio stadium either side of the Second
World War although Lazio also played at the
Rondinella stadium and the Stadio Partito
Nazionale Fascista (PNF), reconstructed under
Mussolini’s regime. At this time Roma
played at the Campo Testaccio.
An impressive 82,000 plus venue it has housed
European Cup Finals and the 1990 World Cup
Final. It is also the first choice home of
the Italian national team, and a great venue
for our Rome soccer tours.
And it's easy to get here for our Rome Soccer
Tours. Rome’s principal airport, Fiumicino,
lies 30kms south of the city and connects
to Rome’s major train station, Termini
by regular hourly trains. The second airport,
Ciampino, lies 15km south east of the city
and is connected to the centre by bus to
Anagnina metro station, where a direct train
and then a tram will quickly get you to the
stadium.
If your passion is football, then don't
miss the opportunity to see your favorite
Roman team play a home game this season.

AS Roma were born in 1927 from the fusion
of three different clubs - Alba, Fortitudo
and Roman. A fine record in the 1930s eventually
led to the first Giallorossi Scudetto in
1942.
Difficult years followed until their one
and only relegation in 1951. With an immediate
return to the top flight, Roma quickly captured
a third place and the 1961 UEFA Cup. The
Coppa Italia came in 1964, the first of seven
in this competition.
Roma’s most glorious years were the
1980s as aside from the two Italian Cups,
the club’s second Scudetto was lifted
by Coach Nils Liedholm in 1983. The following
year only a penalty shoot-out against Liverpool
at the Stadio Olimpico kept them from winning
the European Cup.
Fabio Capello’s Roma led the 2000-01
Serie A table from start to finish for their
third Scudetto and the club’s first
medal in a decade.
Founded in 1900 as Societa Spotiva Lazio,
a multi-purpose sports club, the Biancocelesti
began football full-time in 1906. Winning
one wartime Roman title in 1944, the club
lifted their first national trophy - a Coppa
Italia - in 1958 but were relegated three
seasons later.

Several trips up and down the Divisions
preceded Lazio’s first Scudetto in
1973-74 when they were led by the legendary
Giorgio Chinaglia. But within five years
came the club’s darkest hour as Lazio
was relegated for financial irregularities
and only a play-off prevented the club from
slipping into Serie C in 1987.
Sergio Cragnotti took over the club in 1992
and with his financial backing Lazio became
a force both in Italy and Europe. Since 1997
the Biancocelesti have won their second Scudetto,
a Cup-Winners’ Cup, an Italian and
European Super Cup and two Italian Cups.
However, only massive sales and a restructuring
of contracts allowed the club to avoid bankruptcy.
Believe me (and I've been in Rome during
a major soccer tournament!) there's nothing
like the atmosphere of a match day, and
the city buzzes with excitment.
