Associazione Sportiva Roma, commonly referred to AS Roma, is an Italian football club based in Rome. The club competed in Serie A. Roma have won Serie A three times, first in 1941-42 and then in 1982-1983 and again in 2000-01, as well as winning nine Coppa Italia titles and two Supercoppa Italiana titles. On the European stage, Roma won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1960-61, approaching the European Cup victory in 1983-84 (lost in the final played at home against Liverpool after a penalty shootout), and finishing runner-up in the UEFA Cup for 1990 1991 (aggregate defeat against Internazionale).
Currently play home games at the Olympic Stadium of Rome, which they share with city rivals Lazio. With a capacity of over 72,000, it is the second largest of its kind in Italy, with only San Siro able to seat more. In September 2009 the club unveiled plans to build a new 55,000-capacity stadium in the western suburbs of Rome. The design is modeled after English football stadiums with the objective to give supporters a closer look at the field.
In September 2011, it was announced that the new president, Thomas R. DiBenedetto, has reached an agreement with the mayor of Rome, Gianni Alemanno, to have the new stadium completed by 2016. Like the previous plan by Sensi, the new stadium is to be modeled after English stadiums.
