"Milan Sports" reported that in the early morning of Sunday, Roma's home match against Bologna, the Olympic Stadium will usher in a special audience of the same age as the club.

Although Rosella Gregory, born in 1927, lives in the beautiful Coped District, will set out from his seaside residence in San Marinera tomorrow and take his 14-year-old grandson to the stands to support his beloved team again.

The return of the 98-year-old man is moving and is likely to set an absolute record for the oldest fan of the stadium. Grandma Rosella was born on September 4, 1927, less than two months after the establishment of the Rome Club on July 22 of the same year, and she almost never missed her home game.

Since childhood, she has been in the stands and looks up at legends such as Maseti and Bernardini from a close distance. It seemed like she had been in her previous life, but she had experienced the rise and fall of countless Roman dynasties.

personally experienced the pain of relegation in 1951, and ten years later, witnessed Losi lifting the Expo Cup and ushering in the great Rome of the Dino Viola era. From Desisti, Bruno Conte, Di Bartolome to Falcao, she cheered for the second Serie A trophy in 1983, and she had just celebrated her 56th birthday that year.

From then on, from Giannini, Woral to Ardale, until the arrival of Sensi era, especially the appearance of Totti, she regained her dream of innocence. When she was crowned the third championship in 2001, she was 74 years old. She did not fall in every game that season, and then Spaletti led the team to shine in Europe. Until the eve of American capital taking over, she was always in the stands.

She passed this passion to her grandson Eduardo Orlando. Every year the gifts for her grandson's schooling were Roman scarves sewn by her grandmother, and she renewed the stands season tickets without any trouble.

Eduardo Orlando told the Milan Sports: "Like in previous years, I will watch the first home game of Rome in the new season with my grandma. The whole family will be present, including Aunt Adriana, who serves as the chairman of the Luxembourg branch of the Rome Club and follows the team's global competition."

"I can't wait to share the excitement and victory with her and cheer with her."

Rosela Gregory's goal is to witness the next Serie A trophy and hold a celebration glass with the centenarian Rome Club. Time is right, the future is promising.
