Lazio Ultras Accused of Violent Attack on Real Sociedad Fans in Rome

Nine Spanish fans were injured, including three with stab wounds, in a suspected far-right attack ahead of a Europa League match.

A group of around 70 Real Sociedad fans was attacked by approximately 80 suspected Lazio ultras in Rome's Monti district late Wednesday night.
The attackers reportedly used weapons including knives, metal chains, hammers, and leather straps, leaving nine people injured, three of whom were hospitalized with stab wounds.
One victim, a 23-year-old, remains in serious condition, while others were treated for injuries and later discharged from the hospital.
Italian police are investigating the incident, reviewing CCTV footage, and have seized weapons believed to have been used in the attack.
Rome's mayor condemned the violence as 'shameful and unacceptable,' linking it to far-right extremism within parts of Lazio's hardcore fanbase.
