Lazio Ultras’ Boycott Empties Curva Nord as Lotito Denounces Strike

The walkout stems from a disputed Paparelli tribute that the club calls a misrepresentation.

Overview

  • The Curva Nord stayed away for LazioLecce and the Olimpico was visibly under-attended, with pre-match ticket sales reported at just over 6,000.
  • Many organized supporters remained at Ponte Milvio rather than entering the stadium as part of the protest.
  • President Claudio Lotito rejected claims the club barred Paparelli’s niece from the pitch, saying the issue was that four tifosi sought to accompany her.
  • An official statement circulated via Adnkronos said the pitch-entry request came from some supporter representatives, not from the Paparelli family.
  • Lotito labeled the strike baseless, decried intimidation, and hinted at conduct with potential penal code implications as tensions with organized fans remain unresolved.
