Roma and Lazio fans have released statements warning they will boycott the Derby della Capitale.

Ultras from both sides of the city are protesting against new security measures which have split the Curva – the end of the stadium where hard-line fans sit – at the Stadio Olimpico.

This is to help police enter that section if needs be and to identify perpetrators of illegal acts more easily.

Representatives of the Curva Sud (Roma) and Curva Nord (Lazio) released statements this weekend announcing their boycott of the Rome Derby.

Roma and Lazio fans have released statements warning they will boycott the Derby della Capitale.

Ultras from both sides of the city are protesting against new security measures which have split the Curva – the end of the stadium where hard-line fans sit – at the Stadio Olimpico.

This is to help police enter that section if needs be and to identify perpetrators of illegal acts more easily.

Representatives of the Curva Sud (Roma) and Curva Nord (Lazio) released statements this weekend announcing their boycott of the Rome Derby.

They demand their clubs take an official stance against the security measures put in place by Prefect Gabrielli or they will go on indefinite strike.

“We cannot stay immobile when faced with a club that doesn’t look after its own fans,” read the Roma ultras statement.

“We abandoned the stands due to the absurd impositions that we do not accept and never will accept. You will never take away our dignity in cheering on our team freely and the honesty of saying how things really are.

“Now it’s up to you, club and whoever else is complicit in this travesty, to prove to EVERYONE your good faith and above all that you don’t want to cancel FOREVER the word PASSION from what has always been the fulcrum of the AS Roma support: the Curva Sud.

“NOBODY can buy us, because we are not for sale!!!”
