Legends of AS Roma
Some names are tied to the club forever. These are the players most often named when Roma supporters talk about the greatest to wear the shirt.
Francesco Totti
The club icon. Totti spent his whole career at Roma, wore the number 10, and holds the records for both appearances and goals.
Daniele De Rossi
The captain who followed Totti. De Rossi brought the same loyalty and intensity, and later returned to the club as head coach.
Bruno Conti
A creative wide player from the academy who became a symbol of the 1980s side and a World Cup winner with Italy.
Roberto Pruzzo
The centre forward of the second Scudetto era, a prolific scorer in the title season of 1982/83.
Falcao
The Brazilian playmaker who ran the midfield and became one of the most loved foreign players in club history.
Cafu
An attacking full back who won the league in 2000/01 and went on to captain Brazil to a World Cup.
The Derby della Capitale and Beyond
Roma's fiercest fixture is against the other club in the same stadium. Beyond the city, the club carries strong rivalries with the biggest sides in the north.
Roma against Lazio
The Derby della Capitale is one of the most intense fixtures in world football. Both clubs share the Stadio Olimpico, so the ground splits into two ends of carmine and sky blue, and the match is as much about the city as the table. It is played under heavy security and a wall of sound from the Curva Sud.
Juventus, Milan, and Inter
Roma also carries a long standing rivalry with Juventus, the club it has traded titles with for decades, and with AC Milan and Inter Milan. Matches against the northern giants are among the biggest dates in the Serie A calendar and often decide the shape of the season.
The Stadio Olimpico and the Curva Sud
The stadium and the supporters are central to the identity of the club, and a new home is on the way.
Stadio Olimpico
Built for the 1960 Olympics and rebuilt for the 1990 World Cup, the Stadio Olimpico holds around 70,000 and sits in the Foro Italico complex on the north side of the city. Roma and Lazio share it, so matchday branding changes with the home club.
The Curva Sud
The Curva Sud is the heart of Roma support. On matchdays it becomes a wall of red and yellow, with large choreographed displays, flags, and drums that carry the atmosphere through the whole ground.
Roma Roma Roma
The club anthem, "Roma Roma Roma", is sung by the whole stadium before kickoff. It ties the team to the city and is one of the most recognisable pre match rituals in Italian football.
The club is planning a new stadium of its own in the Pietralata area of Rome, with construction targeted to finish around 2028.
