For information and passion about SS Lazio, visit our sister site dedicated to Rome's first team: Football in Rome. You won't find any unbiased coverage, but you will find plenty of information, advice, and fans' match reports from recent seasons.

The great, trophy-winning side that fans will remember from the 1990s has suffered several years on a financial knife-edge, and can no longer operate at the same level. However, the fans are passionate, the stadium is wonderful, and the matches continue to be hard-fought and memorable.

Rome Travel and Tourism

It goes without saying that Rome is one of the best places you could possibly visit on a football trip. There are enough sights, museums and attractions to fill the longest of trips, but even if you're only visiting for the weekend, the compactness of the city centre means you can still fit in the most important sights.
