The Roma 2024 European Athletics Championships will open on 7 June with a special promotion dedicated to young people: school students will in fact be able to buy tickets at the symbolic price of 1 Euro to follow at the Olympic Stadium, in the Curva Sud, Curva Nord and Distinti Sud stands, both sessions (morning and evening) of the first day of competition.
The promotion will also be valid for people accompanying students at the stadium, whether relatives or teachers.
And there is more: thanks to the new ‘Last Call‘ promotion from 9 a.m. this morning, it is possible to purchase all available ticket and season ticket types at a 40% discount. The ‘Last Call’ promotion will run for one week and will end at 9 a.m. on Thursday, 30 May. Detailed informations about on the ongoing promotions can be found here.
“We can’t wait to go at the Olympic Stadium to enjoy the enthusiasm and passion of young people, in the name of inclusion and participation, for the opening of the European Athletics Championships. This is a formidable opportunity to transfer the commitment, quality and excellence of our country and our territory to the whole world, as well as to confirm our skills in organising major events,” says Stefano Mei, president of FIDAL and of the EuroRoma 2024 Foundation.
The presence of thousands of children and young people will make the atmosphere at the Foro Italico Park and the Olympic Stadium magical, in a day that will be full of emotions for all lovers of athletics.
The morning session on 7 June will open at 9.35 a.m. with the discus throw qualifiers, then there will be space for many other disciplines: shot put, hurdles, 1500m, 800m, 3000 steeplechase, triple jump and long jump qualifiers, as well as the first Heptathlon competitions.
In the evening session, the first medals of the Roma 2024 European Athletics Championships will be awarded, starting with the women’s 20km race walk, with a course designed around the Stadio dei Marmi and the Fountain of the Sphere culminating inside the Olympic Stadium.
The other scheduled finals will be the women’s discus throw, the women’s shot put, the mixed 4×400 relay and the women’s 5000m, while the sprinters will compete in the men’s 100m qualifiers.
The spectacular challenges of Roma 2024 will fill six consecutive days of competition until 12 June, with over 1600 European athletes competing in 24 different disciplines. Tickets and season tickets are on sale here.
