Overview
- Lazio posted photos of the new bird from its Formello training center, formally presenting the replacement for the sidelined matchday eagle.
- The club has not announced the new falconer and says the bird requires weeks of training before returning to pre-match flights.
- Former handler Juan Bernabé publicly claimed the images show Olimpia, the original mascot, a claim at odds with the club’s presentation.
- Separate event listings indicate Olimpia is set for an appearance in Verano Brianza on February 9, 2026, under Bernabé’s guidance.
- Reports say the club will run a fan contest to select the name, with the option to reuse the registered name Olimpia under consideration.
