A strategic international journey between sport, innovation and finance begins

S.S. Lazio experienced a moment of extraordinary symbolic and strategic value today by taking part in the official Nasdaq Closing Bell Ceremony at the exchange’s headquarters in Times Square, New York.

This historic event places Lazio among the very few sports clubs worldwide to be featured in a ceremony of this tenure within the leading global technology marketplace. This confirms the international growth that is increasing the position of the Club at the intersection of sport, media, innovation and finance.

Nasdaq, a global leader in financial and technological markets, is showing growing interest in the sports industry, an evolving sector with strong asset value and long-term potential. In this context, S.S. Lazio stands among the first sports organizations to have initiated a structured dialogue with such an advanced and international ecosystem.

Officially representing the Club at Nasdaq were Enrico Lotito, Director General of Lazio’s Youth Sector, and Emanuele Floridi, Spokesperson and Head of Strategy and Communication Organization for S.S. Lazio.

“Being present at Nasdaq today is a source of great pride,” said Enrico Lotito. “It represents both a symbolic and tangible milestone in the growth path that S.S. Lazio is pursuing with vision and responsibility, looking at the future of sport as an integrated system built on education, innovation and international relations.”

Lazio’s presence on Wall Street marks the beginning of a structured, long-term journey aimed at strengthening the Club’s international relationships and developing new opportunities for collaboration across global markets. This initiative is supported by top-tier advisors—Deloitte Legal and the New York-based international law firm of Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP, reflecting a highly qualified, integrated and multidisciplinary approach to the international positioning of the Lazio brand.

“Ringing the Nasdaq bell means bringing Lazio into one of the world’s most iconic centers of global innovation,” added Emanuele Floridi. “It marks the start of a journey that goes beyond football itself, showcasing a Club capable of engaging with international finance, technology and media, while enhancing its brand value and distribution vision at a time of profound transformation for the global sports industry.”

The Nasdaq Closing Bell Ceremony represents not only a prestigious recognition, but also a concrete signal of the credibility, solidity and strategic vision of S.S. Lazio as an organization able to engage with leading international players, well beyond the traditional boundaries of sport.

In an increasingly globalized and financially driven football market, S.S. Lazio is committed to building a sustainable and scalable growth model capable of supporting the Club’s international expansion, while keeping governance, financial discipline and long-term vision at its core. An approach that combines innovation and access to global markets with the preservation of the Club’s family identity and historical values distinctive and competitive elements of the Lazio brand within the global sports industry.
