Dan and Ryan Friedkin, the owners of "Roma", have officially announced the gradual return of the club's historical logo as part of ambitious plans leading up to the club's centenary. The complete transition to the classic emblem will be finalized in 2027, marking 100 years since the founding of the Italian capital's iconic club.
"Returning to our historical roots while building for the future represents our vision for 'Roma'," the ownership likely emphasized in their end-of-season message to supporters.
Beyond the logo change, the Friedkins also revealed plans to construct a new stadium for "Roma" – a long-awaited development for the passionate fanbase that has been calling for modern facilities for years. No specific timeline was provided, but this announcement signals serious intent from the American owners.
By the way, "Roma" recently concluded their 2024/25 Serie A campaign in fifth position with 69 points from 38 matches, securing European football for next season. Not bad for a club in transition.
Interestingly, the club has also apparently settled on their transfer strategy under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, though specific targets weren't mentioned in the ownership's communication.
With these ambitious plans taking shape, will "Roma" finally build the infrastructure needed to consistently challenge at the top of Italian football? The next few years could prove transformative for one of Italy's most beloved clubs.
