Background
The Stadio Olimpico is located in the city of Rome, in Italy. It serves as the home venue for the Roman football club AS Roma. Rome is the capital of Italy, and the stadium sits within the city, which is why fans searching for its location usually want a city-level answer.
Serie A is the top professional football league in Italy. Its matches are played at stadiums across the country, and the Stadio Olimpico is one of the principal grounds used for league fixtures in the capital. The sources for this page do not give the stadium's capacity, tour details, ticket information, or the name of its neighbourhood, so those points are not covered here.
The venue is in the news because Roma is scheduled to host Cagliari there in a midweek Serie A match. Roma came into the fixture after a 3-3 draw with Napoli. Coverage of that earlier game focused on an outburst by Napoli coach Massimiliano Allegri at the end of the match, which Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini described as unfortunate. Gasperini's squad is limited, and Paulo Dybala has been left off the matchday squad because he is not yet ready to return from injury. Cagliari is without Harry Winks, and Yukinari Sugawara is expected to start for the visitors. Several previews name Santiago Castro, Nahuel Molina and Matias Soulé among the likely Roma starters, while others expect Rodrigo Mora to start; team sheets were not confirmed in the sources used here.
