Rugby:Italy will move next year's Six Nations rugby union matches in Rome's Olympic stadium. The matches against England and Scotland will both be played at the arena, which has hosted one Olympic Games, four European Cup finals and the 1990 World Cup final.

It is also used as the home stadium for soccer's Serie A clubs Lazio and AS Roma.

Italy has staged its home games in the tournament at the Stadio Flaminio, also in Rome, for the last 11 years. The FIR had previously considered playing Six Nations matches in Florence.
