Lazio and Roma fans banned from away games after violent clashes
Following the violent clashes before the Derby della Capitale, both Lazio and Roma supporters are banned from attending the next three Serie A away fixtures.
The game ended 1-1 at the Stadio Olimpico, but the trouble was before kick-off, when both sets of supporters tried to face off in the streets around Ponte Milvio and were kept apart by a police cordon.

When they were unable to attack each other, the ultras turned on the police instead, throwing bottles and other objects.
The local authorities generally restrict the high-risk games like the Rome Derby from being played in the evening to avoid crowd trouble.

Now they have reacted by banning both Lazio and Roma supporters from buying tickets for the next three Serie A away matches.
The Interior Minister has also ordered that from next season, high-risk fixtures will be scheduled during the daytime and not in the evening.
It is believed that earlier kick-offs make it easier to police the situation.

The 26-year-old Netherlands midfielder has agreed a five-year contract to move to City from AC Milan for 55million euros (approximately £46million) and told Italian media he had spent Sunday conducting a medical with Pep Guardiola's side. Advertisement City will play their first match of the Club World Cup against Morocco's Wydad AC on June 18 and the arrival of Reijnders could also impact the future of Jack Grealish at City. Reijnders told Gazzetta: 'The medical? I couldn't wait to do it. The plan is to take part at the Club World Cup with City. I'm really excited about that. 'Doing that means I'll get to know my new team-mates soon.' Reijnders was a bright spark in a disappointing season for Milan, who only finished eighth in Serie A, missing out on qualification for Europe. Manchester City's Jack Grealish could leave this summer (Martin Rickett/PA) Reijnders, who joined the Italian giants from AZ Alkmaar in the summer of 2023, scored 15 goals in 2024-25 and will bolster Guardiola's midfield options following the departure of Kevin De Bruyne. Advertisement As first reported by the Daily Telegraph on Wednesday, England international Grealish looks set to miss out on City's final 35-man squad for the Club World Cup.

Napoli's Victor Osimhen rejects Al Hilal move
Serie A giants Napoli were close to selling Victor Osimhen to Al Hilal but the move will now not go through. Earlier today, it became clear that the Saudi Arabian club will trigger the player's release clause and they were only waiting for the Nigerian's go-ahead for a transfer. Advertisement It seems as if the move will not go through after all. Gianluca di Marzio has reported that the striker has made it clear that he will not join Al Hilal. This has happened after the Napoli player made some final assessments about the potential transfer. Initially, the Saudi club had offered a fee that was slightly lower that the player's release clause. But that wasn't enough for Napoli, who wanted a higher fee and the release clause was triggered. Alfredo Pedulla has revealed that Al Hilal had offered Osimhen a wage of over €30 million per season but the player's 'no' is quite decisive. Kaustubh Pandey I GIFN

FIGC insist to appoint Claudio Ranieri as Italy coach
The Italian federation led by Gabriele Gravina are not giving up in their pursuit of Claudio Ranieri. After the decision to part ways with Spalletti, FIGC president Gravina has opted to try and convince Claudio Ranieri to lead Italy next.
