History of AS Roma
Giallorossi
The club has been playing since 1953 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. The team also has a world-renowned reputation, notably thanks to its recent legend, Francesco Totti, who has remained faithful to the Roma throughout his career.
History of Lazio S.S Lazio is a football club based in Rome, founded in 1900. So the club is the oldest in the city. This is due to the fact that Lazio is the only one of the five Roman clubs that did not wish to merge in 1927. Its colors are sky and white, in tribute to Greece, the founding country of the Olympic Games. Therefore, the players laziali are also called Biancocelesti .
Like her rival, Lazio has a well-stocked palm with 2 Italian championships and 7 Italian Cups. But in contrast to AS Roma, Lazio has a continental trophy, UEFA Cup won in 1998.

What games do you prefer?
Whether for a club or for the other, the stadium is very large, it is possible to buy tickets for the largest posters.
