Rivalries

Perhaps the most notable rivalry is with Lazio neighbors A.S. Roma, with matches between the two teams referred to as Derby della Capitale.

Other rivals in Italy include Napoli.

During the 1970s, Lazio developed a strong hate for Pescara Calcio, who in return consider Lazio their greatest rival. Due to Pescara's fleeting appearances in Serie A, no match has been played between the two teams for over a decade.In the season 2012/2013 Lazio played at Pescara and won with 0-3.However, the two sets of fans did clash at a Primavera match in neutral Ancona.

The ultras consider both Livorno and Atalanta to be among their greatest enemies. Both of these rivalries were born due to political ideologies, with both Livorno and Atalanta having predominately left-wing fans, while Lazio's hardcore is far right. Lazio icon Paolo Di Canio and Livorno icon Cristiano Lucarelli have both performed controversial salutes to fans during some of their matches.

Lazio also count Fiorentina, Juventus and Milan as rivals.
