Rome v Lazio - the local Derby

If you live in Rome you already be aware of the prominence of the local Derby between AS Roma and Lazio for what is called calcio in Roma and football around Europe (soccer for Americans).

This year for 2009, 6th November is the day to be in Rome (or not to be if you are not a football fan) and if you can get tickets then this is one of the most competitive games in the Italian Seria A calendar. Other games perhaps of the same level in terms of competitiveness are:

• Inter Milan v AC Milan (in Milano)
• Palermo v Catania (in Sicily)

To try and get tickets for the Roma v Mazio game at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome two avenues to try are 1) The official Roma site and 2) the main tickets site TicketOne.
