Lazio Making Important Progress in €400M Stadio Flaminio Project
Lazio have reportedly made significant steps on the Stadio Flaminio front, as they continue to untie the remaining bureaucratic knots. The Background The Biancocelesti have been sharing the Stadio Olimpico with their arch-rivals Roma for decades, but they now plan to move away from the iconic facility, owned by the state, and possess their own stadium. The club has identified the currently defunct Stadio Flaminio as the ideal ground for their ambitious project.

But while the project had received high praise from the Mayor, the club still has some issues to resolve. Lazio Working on Resolving Remaining Stadio Flaminio Issues According to Il Corriere della Sera (via Calcio e Finanza), the municipality had asked Lazio to provide them with four additional documents in order to make the project eligible for a feasibility study. These documents include studies related to the environment, parking spaces and the traffic in the area surrounding the ground. Lazio Facing Public Outcry The source also warns the club of public discontent, as the residents of the area had already protested against the previous project presented by Roma Nuoto for the renovation of Stadio Flaminio, and they could also take legal action against the Serie A club if they were to consider the project a threat to the region's serenity. How Much Will Stadio Flaminio Cost Lazio The newspaper adds that Lazio had first estimated the project to cost €400 million, but the overall sum could be reduced to circa €360 million. The Aquile remain in close association with their partners, Legends, who will be entrusted with the renovation and the management of the stadium. The club's directors have recently met the company's hierarchy during their New York City tour.

Abandoned 25,000-seater stadium that hosted England and Michael Jackson could return to former glory for Euro 2032
AN abandoned stadium which once hosted pop icon Michael Jackson is in line for a multi-million-pound revamp. And it could end up being one of the grounds used for UEFA Euro 2032. 4 4 4 The tournament is set to take place in seven years, with Italy and Turkey sharing the host rights. The Stadio Olimpico and San Siro are dead certs to stage matches during the competition. But an abandoned ground built in the 1950s could also host games if a proposed renovation plan gets the green light. The Stadio Flaminio on the outskirts of Rome is finally set to be renovated nearly 20 YEARS after proposals were first put forward. The ground, which was built ahead of the 1960 Olympics, has become dilapidated in recent years and is currently full of overgrown grass and bushes. The Flaminio's current state is a far cry from when it was in its pomp and hosted the likes of music icons David Bowie, MJ and The Rolling Stones. It's not that long ago since the ground was regularly used. From the year 2000 to 2011, it was the home of the Italian national rugby team and hosted a slew of Six Nations games in front of 30,000 spectators.

The renovation is expected to cost a whopping £334million (€391m). Abandoned EFL stadium left to rot with pitch covered in weeds just five years after hosting final match Previous plans to renovate the stadium fell flat on their face due to archaeological constraints preventing additional facilities from being built in the surrounding areas. Developers, however, plan to get around that hurdle with a three-hour "restricted traffic zone" ahead of kick-off and the commencement of other events.
