BACK TO ITALY CLUBS

Hi, I’m Carlos! A coach, sports enthusiast, and the founder of FCScout.com.

I fell in love with the game at a very young age like many of you. I’ve been following and playing soccer for many years.

Throughout my career, I always enjoyed helping soccer players chase their dreams, which is why I started this website. I wanted to reach a larger audience outside of my local area and fcscout.com was born.

This website is a platform I will be using to update club pages on any tryouts, stadiums, players, tech, and more from clubs around the world. I also create free recruitment profiles for players looking to have that extra competitive edge when reaching out to clubs.

That’s it. That’s my pitch for you to stick around (or browse the site as you please).

This is already too much text for a “see more” drop-down button thing. If you want to reach out to me, head on over to my contact page 🙂

AS Roma History

Fifteen players have won the FIFA World Cup while playing for Roma, including Ferraris, Guaita, and Masetti in 1934; Donati, Monzeglio, and Serantoni in 1938; Bruno Conti in 1982; Rudi Voller and Berthold in 1990; Aldair in 1994; Candela in 1998; and Francesco Totti, Daniele De Rossi, and Simone Perrotta in 2002. (2006).

Since the year 1953, Roma’s home games have been held at the Stadio Olimpico, which is a stadium that they share with their archrivals Lazio. It has a seating capacity of nearly 72,000, making it the second-largest venue of its sort in Italy; only the San Siro is able to accommodate a larger number of people. Even though building on the new stadium has not yet begun, the team intends to relocate to it in the near future.

I Giallorossi is the nick moniker given to Roma as a result of the club’s home colors, which are a golden yellow and carmine crimson combination (“The Yellow and Reds”). These hues have frequently been paired with white shorts in fashion shows. The she-wolf, a reference to the notion that Rome was founded by wolves, is featured on their club badge.

Stadium

Over 70,000 spectators may be accommodated at Rome, Italy’s Stadio Olimpico, which is the city’s most extensive sporting venue. It may be found at the Foro Italico sports complex, which is situated to the north of the city. The Italian National Olympic Committee is the owner of the building, and the sport of association football is the primary activity that takes place there.

The final match of the Coppa Italia is played in the Stadio Olimpico, which also serves as the home turf for the football teams of Roma and Lazio. It hosted the tournament final after being reconstructed for the 1990 FIFA World Cup to be played there.

In addition to having a status as a UEFA category four stadium, it has served as the location for four different European Cup finals, the most recent of which was the UEFA Champions League Final in 2009. In addition to being used for football, the stadium is also the national athletics stadium for Italy and is utilized by the Italian national rugby union team. Concerts and other activities are occasionally held there.

Crest

The club is commonly referred to as I lupi” (which literally translates to “the wolves”), and the animal has been represented on the club’s badge in a variety of guises since the beginning of their existence. The emblem that is being used by the squad is the same one that was used back when the club was initially established. It illustrates the myth of Rome’s founding by depicting a female wolf with two young brothers named Romulus and Remus. The image is superimposed on a shield that is divided into two parts and colored golden yellow and maroon red respectively.

The twins, sons of Mars and Rhea Silvia, are cast into the river Tiber by their uncle Amulius, according to the tale from which the club draws its name and logo. The two young were eventually rescued and cared for by a female wolf. In the end, the two twins got their revenge on Amulius before falling out with each other: Romulus killed Remus, and as a result, he became the first king of a new city called Rome, which was named in his honor.
