Lazio Ultras, known as ‘Ultras Lazio’ have called for the first-ever Curva Nord party outside the Stadio Olimpico next week.
As seen on the Facebook page ‘La voce della Nord‘ earlier today, some of the Lazio Ultras have called for fans to gather at the Curva Nord square outside the Stadio Olimpico next week on Saturday 17th July to meet for a party.

The reason for this is because of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has stopped fans from attending football matches since it swept across the world over a year ago now. This has deeply affected many, especially those who attended matches every weekend with family or friends.
There are hopes that stadiums will be able to re-open to full capacity for next season. Some matches in this summer’s Euro 2020 have already begun building up the number of fans present within stadiums, with the final likely to be close to full capacity.

Below the statement from Ultras Lazio can be read in full:
It’s been two years since we’ve been in our house, two seasons without being able to follow up on the classic rituals that have accompanied us over time.
Passing by the sandwich shop and stopping for a chat with the usual familiar faces, entering with a beer in hand towards the Curva gates, passing through the checkpoints and climbing the steps that opened up, at the top, to the most beautiful of views: the Curva from the inside.
We don’t know how to stay away from this poetry and we have decided to organise an event that brings us together, that makes us relive in part those emotions that we are deeply in love with, seeing us all as we were in the Curva.
On Saturday 17 July, from 5pm to midnight, every Lazio fan is invited to the first Curva Nord party, right under the Curva Nord square, to see us all again, to spend a day together among historical videos, speeches, music, beer, sandwiches and to greet those who have worn the Lazio shirt with honour.
