Italian football club, AS Roma, has confirmed that the club's new stadium will be built on the Tor di Valle site located on the south-western outskirts of the city. The site lies on the banks of the Tiber River and is currently occupied by a racetrack which will be demolished.
The 55 - 60,000 seater stadium was designed by sports and entertainment architect, Dan Meis, who said: "In 25 years which I have been in charge of stadium projects, I have never met fans so passionate about their team. No one deserves a stadium more than the squad and fans of AS Roma"
The stadium is expected to cost between €165m (£140m, $216m) and €210m (£178m, $276m) and the club hopes to move into the new stadium before the start of the 2016-17 season.
The construction of a new stadium is the latest global brand-enhancing and revenue-generating move that AS Roma President Jim Pallotta has made since acquiring the team in December 2011.
