In a local controversy in Italian football, Lazio could have a new logo on their kits soon.
Riyadh and Rome are both candidates to host EXPO 2030
Lazio have been without a main sponsor after the deal with Binance expired after the 2022-2023 season.
Rival of Riyadh EXPO 2030 Lazio to Use Rome's EXPO 2030 Campaign on Shirts
According to Italian media reports, Lazio could use Rome's EXPO 2030 campaign on their shirts, in direct opposition to Riyadh sponsoring the Roma jerseys. Why? Riyadh and Rome are two main candidates for the opportunity to host the EXPO 2030 event, and a decision will be made soon.
AS Roma signed a sponsorship deal with Riyadh Season worth €25m per season. Meanwhile, Lazio will likely get no or not much money by displaying the EXPO 2030 Rome logo on their kits.
According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Lazio are also evaluating other options to fill the void left by Binance. Lazio do not want to put the word "SPQR" on the kits as Roma had done after the cancellation of the agreement with Digitalbits.
The host country of World Expo 2030 will be elected by BIE Member States, gathered in the 173rd General Assembly taking place on 28 November 2023

MLS Players Wear Their National Flags on Kits Ahead of 2026 World Cup
Major League Soccer last weekend hosted a dedicated "Farewell Week" to send off its international stars. To mark the occasion, all clubs across the domestic league took to the pitch wearing specially customized kits that honored the various nations represented within their squads.
The most prominent visual update to the MLS uniforms was the addition of official national flags printed directly on the chest for all players and coaching staff. In a highly thoughtful and personalized touch, the league provided specialized double-flag variations for athletes holding dual citizenship. This bespoke detail allowed these specific players to proudly represent both their current homelands and their heritage simultaneously before joining their respective national team camps.
Beyond the chest graphics, teams also sported a unique set of squad numbers on the back of their shirts, featuring a custom pattern made up of the flags of all 48 countries participating in this summer's World Cup.
What do you think of this customized flag concept for the MLS World Cup Farewell Week? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
