Stadio Olimpico - Rules

STADIO OLIMPICO DI ROMA - CODE OF CONDUCT

(ART. 1 SEPTIES OF D.L. 28/2003, CONVERTED AND AMENDED BY LAW 88/2003)

For "Club" or "A.S. Roma," the term refers to A.S. Roma S.r.l. For "Event," the term refers to any sports event taking place at the Stadio Olimpico di Roma, organized and/or managed by A.S. Roma.

According to this regulation, "sports facility" refers to all areas of relevance, including the external reserved area of the Stadio Olimpico di Roma.

Entry and stay at the sports facility, for any reason, during football matches are regulated by the "usage regulations"; purchasing an entry ticket implies the spectator's acceptance of these rules.

Failure to comply will result in the immediate termination of the service contract, leading to expulsion from the facility and the application of an administrative fine ranging from €100 to €500.

If the offender has already been sanctioned in the same sports season, even at a different venue, for the same violation of the usage regulations, the fine may be increased up to half the maximum amount, and a ban from sports events may be imposed.

PLEASE NOTE:

• The stadium access ticket is personal and will only be issued after registering the buyer's personal details (D.M. 06/06/2005).
