The Curva Sud, Roma’s most passionate supporter group, has announced a new phase in their ongoing protest against the club’s current ownership under the Friedkin family. The ultras are calling on fans to boycott the first 15 minutes of the upcoming high-profile match against Inter Milan at the Stadio Olimpico.
TMW detail how the leader of the Curva Sud took to Instagram to explain the rationale behind this decision, stating: “On the occasion of Roma/Inter, the Curva Sud will remain outside – to further highlight the dissent given the importance of the match – for fifteen minutes and in silence to protest against a management that, to the promises, is not following up with actions.”
The statement outlines several grievances, including alleged disrespect for club traditions, organizational issues, and questionable merchandising decisions. The ultras argue that the current leadership lacks a deep understanding of Roma’s history and the values cherished by its fanbase.
“To lead Roma it is not enough to spend money but it is necessary to create and represent a club in which every Romanista can identify and be proud of,” the statement continues, underlining the supporters’ desire for a connection with the club’s management that goes beyond financial investment.
The Curva Sud is extending this call to action to all Roma supporters, urging a united front in their demand for change. Their message to the Friedkin family is clear: “We demand a change of direction.”
