Stadio Olimpico is an Italian multi-purpose sports venue located in Rome.
It is the largest sports facility of the city and the second-largest of Italy – after Milan's Meazza Stadium – seating more than 70,600 spectators.
In the past it used to host up to one hundred thousand people and for this reason was also called Stadio dei Centomila (Stadium of the 100,000).
It is also called colloquially l'Olimpico (The Olympic) and is owned by Sport e Salute, a government agency for the management of sports venues, whereas its operator is the Italian National Olympic Committee.
Ever since its opening the stadium is the venue of the city's two principal professional football clubs, S.S. Lazio and A.S. Roma.
It switched its name to Olimpico once Rome was handed in 1955 the organization of the 17th Summer Olympics to take place in 1960.
After its 1990 renewal the stadium is also a concert venue: the record attendance for a single musical event was set in 1998 when 90,000 spectators
Società Sportiva Lazio, commonly referred to as Lazio, is an Italian professional sports club based in Rome, most known for its football activity.
The society, founded in 1900, plays in the Serie A and have spent most of their history in the top tier of Italian football. Lazio have been Italian champions twice (1974, 2000), and have won the Coppa Italia seven times, the Supercoppa Italiana three times, and both the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Super Cup on one occasion.
The club had their first major success in 1958, winning the domestic cup.
In 1974, they won their first Serie A title.
The 1990s were the most successful period in Lazio's history, with the team reaching the UEFA Cup final in 1998, winning the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Super Cup in 1999, and clinching the Serie A title in 2000.
Due to a severe economic crisis in 2002 that forced president Sergio Cragnotti out of the club along with several star players being sold, Lazio's success in the league declined. In spite of the lower funds, the club has won four Coppa Italia titles since then in 2004, 2009, 2013 and 2019.
Lazio's traditional kit colours are sky blue shirts and white shorts with white socks the colours are reminiscent of Rome's ancient Hellenic legacy.
Sky blue socks have also been interchangeably used as home colours.
Lazio have a long-standing rivalry with Roma, with whom they have contested the Derby della Capitale (in English "Derby of the capital city" or Rome derby) since 1929.
