Lazio Unveils New Eagle Mascot as Ex-Falconer Claims It’s the Original ‘Olimpia’

The club outlines a gradual return of the pre-match ritual following months of suspension.

Overview

  • Lazio released official photos from the Formello training center introducing a new eagle, with images credited to club photographer Marco Rosi.
  • The bird will undergo weeks of training, and multiple outlets report its first flight at the Stadio Olimpico is not expected until 2026.
  • Supporters will be invited to choose the mascot’s name through a club-run contest, echoing the fan vote used in 2010.
  • The identity of the new falconer has not been announced, with some reports saying the selection was made by club owner Claudio Lotito.
  • Former handler Juan Bernabé publicly asserts the eagle shown is the original Olimpia, and separate reports note plans for that bird to appear at a February 9, 2026 event in Brianza.
