Lazio fans plan protest amid Lotito's new club purchase

Lazio fans are set to protest on July 2 against President Claudio Lotito's recent acquisition of Reggina. The announcement has further fueled discontent among ultras, who have boycotted home matches for months, resulting in empty stands at the Stadio Olimpico. Their planned march will begin at Ponte Milvio and conclude at Piazzale Ankara. Lotito's purchase of the bankrupt Reggina is controversial due to regulations that prohibit one individual from owning multiple clubs within professional leagues. As Reggina currently competes in Serie D, a potential promotion would require Lotito to make a choice between the two clubs if the situation arises.
