Early acid test at the Stadio Olimpico in September
With the 2026/27 Serie A season just getting underway, September offers one of the most highly charged fixtures in Italian football – and a perfect highlight for a football trip to Rome. AS Roma face Inter in a boiling Stadio Olimpico. This match is more than just three points; it's an early indicator of Roma's ambitions to challenge the very top and a test of Inter's ability to maintain their dominance.
The atmosphere at the Olimpico on these evenings is hard to beat. When the home supporters belt out the club anthem ”Roma Roma Roma” and the flags fly on the Curva Sud, even the most experienced football traveller gets shivers. Matches against Inter are always characterised by high intensity, tactical brilliance and a mighty atmosphere that extends far beyond the pitch.
Experience the passion on location with a football trip to Rome
Italian football is an experience best enjoyed live, and a football trip to Rome gives you the chance to feel the passion that permeates the city. Romans live for their football, and discussions in the city's cafés and trattorias rarely turn to anything else when the Milan giant comes to visit. Walking along the Tiber towards the stadium with thousands of expectant supporters is an experience in itself.
With tickets on the long side, you get a perfect perspective of the tactical chess match on the pitch. You'll be right in the thick of the action and can enjoy both the technical play and the fantastic atmosphere in the stands up close.
