History

Main article: History of A.S. Roma

Associazione Sportiva Roma was founded in July 1927 by a merger of three older clubs from the city of Rome who had played in the Italian football league; Roman FC (the oldest, founded in 1903), Alba-Audace Roma and Fortitudo-Pro Roma. The only major Roman club to refuse to merge was Lazio^[1]. The clubs which ultimately merged, spurned on by the regime's desire for each Italian city to be represented by one major club (as had happened in Florence, Naples and Bari already), either had good players but were struggling financially or had healthy finances but ordinary players. // Historical AS Roma positions in Serie A A.S.

1950s to 1970s

After returning to Serie A in 1952, Roma spent the remainder 1950s and early 1960s in the top half of Serie A. From 1963 to 1979 AS Roma endured a period of mediocrity with 3rd place in 1974-75 being the best they could manage, punctured by either mid-table mediocrity or flirtation with relegation. Notable players in this period include defender Giacomo Losi and midfielders Franco Cordova and Giancarlo De Sisti.

With talented players including Bruno Conti, Agostino Di Bartolomei, Roberto Pruzzo and Falcao, Roma would begin the 1980s in its best position to challenge for the title since 1942. After narrowly (and controversially) missing out in 1981 to Juventus, they broke through in 1983 amidst joyous celebrations in the capital. They reached the European Cup final the following year, only to lose to Liverpool on penalties.

Stadio Olimpico during an AS Roma match

The club plays at the 82,656 seater Stadio Olimpico, shared with S.S. Lazio. The two teams face off against each other at least twice a season in the Derby della Capitale (Derby of the Capital) which is notorious for being one of the most fiery and emotional rivalries in world football. Two extreme incidents in particular have left their mark on the history of this heated fixture. In 1979, Lazio fan Vincenzo Paparelli was hit in the eye by a flare fired by a Roma fan from the opposite end of the stadium, subsequently becoming the first fatality in Italian football history. In 2003 an unprecedented event occurred when the Roma Ultras forced the game to be suspended after spreading false rumours among the crowd that a child had been killed by the police prior to the beginning of the game.

AS Roma's principal ultras group until the middle of the 1990s was the left-leaning CUCS (Commando Ultrà Curva Sud). However the group was slowly usurped by rival factions and ultimately broke up. The Curva Sud has been controlled since then by various groups which lean markedly to the right (AS Roma Ultras, Boys, Giovinezza, etc.) even if the oldest group, Fedayn, is now a-political. It is worth bearing in mind that in both team's cases the political leanings of the actual groups, though more likely to generate media attention, is usually not their raison d'être and more just a part of their overall identity. Look up raison dêtre in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

The club anthem, Roma (non si discute,si ama) -popularly but incorrectly known as Roma Roma- by Antonello Venditti, is played and sung before each match, and "Grazie Roma", by the same singer, is played at the end of home games when the team wins. A recent addition to the supporters repertoire was the riff to the White Stripes song, 'Seven Nation Army' which was later used by supporters of the Italian national team in the 2006 FIFA World Cup. It started when Roma played against Club Brugges in Belgium during 2005-2006 UEFA Cup. The home team scored, and belgian supporters started singing the song. But suddenly Roma scored once, and then once again, and Roma supporters started singing the same song in order to provoke the opposite fans. The week after Rome won in the derby against Lazio, making the record of 11 consecutive victories, and the song became as popular as it now is.
