The Stadio Olimpico, or the Olympic Stadium, is the stadium of two big football clubs—AS Roma and SS Lazio—located in Rome. Besides football matches, the stadium hosts rugby games and international pop and rock concerts. A guided tour of the stadium gives you a look at the changing rooms, media rooms, the turnstiles and the pitch. You can also access the museum and marvel at the jerseys and photos of accomplished players.
The stadium is a part of the Foro Italico sports complex and was a project initiated by Mussolini. The first official match here took place between Italy and Hungary in 1953. Many Olympic games have been arranged in this stadium since then. The present-day capacity of the stadium is around 73,000 seats. During the football season, from August to May, football matches take place featuring one of the two Serie A teams—Roma and Lazio. In addition, six Nations rugby tournaments are held here in February and March.
