It was rebuilt for the 1990 World Cup and can hold about 82,000 people. If you happen to be in Rome when the two local teams Roma (they are called “i giallorossi”) and Lazio (“i biancazzurri”) are playing against each other try to get a ticket (well in advance). It’s worth it. This match is called “Il derby della Capitale” and it’s just spectacular, the rivalry between the two teams is unbelievable. Keep your eyes open if you wander around the stadium before and after the “derby”. It is so important for them that they’d rather win that match and lose the Italian League (Serie A) than the other way around. Newspapers and local TV channels talk about it for weeks. The International Tennis Tournament is held in this area as well, in a sports complex commonly referred to as Foro Italico (it’s also the name of this area of Rome). To get there, you can take Metro (Line A) to Ottaviano and then bus no. 32.close
