Associazione Sportiva Roma (BIT: ASR, LSE: 0DMN), commonly referred to as simply Roma, is a professional Italian football club based in Rome. Founded by a merger arranged by the Fascist regime in 1927, Roma have participated in the top-tier of Italian football for all of their existence but one season in the early 50s (1951–52). For their 60th season in a row (79th overall), Roma competed in Serie A for the 2011–12 season.

Roma have won Serie A three times, first in 1941–42 then in 1982–83 and again in 2000–01, as well as winning nine Coppa Italia titles and two Supercoppa Italiana titles. On the European stage Roma won an Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1960–61, coming close to European Cup victory in 1983–84 (lost the one-legged final played at home against Liverpool after a penalty shootout), and finishing as runners-up in the UEFA Cup for 1990–91 (two-legged aggregate defeat against Internazionale).

Home games are currently played at the Stadio Olimpico, a venue they share with city rivals Lazio. With a capacity of over 72,000, it is the second largest of its kind in Italy, with only San Siro able to seat more. In September 2009 the club unveiled plans to build a new 55,000-capacity stadium in the western suburbs of Rome. Its design was modeled after English football stadiums with the objective being to give fans a closer view of the pitch. In September 2011, it was announced that the new president, Thomas DiBenedetto, had reached an agreement with the mayor of Rome, Gianni Alemanno, to have the new stadium completed by 2014. Like the previous plan by Sensi, this new stadium is to be modeled after English stadiums.

Kevin Strootman (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈkɛ.vɪn ˈstroʊ̯t.mɑn], born 13 February 1990) is a Dutch footballer currently playing for Dutch Eredivisie club PSV Eindhoven. He primarily plays as a central midfielder.

Strootman began his career with VV Rijsoord and signed a youth contract for RJO Sparta Rotterdam in 2007.

He was promoted to the senior team in January 2008. His first full season proved to be very successful and he caught the eye of bigger clubs in the Eredivisie. He started well as playmaker of the side in the 2009–10 season but after a disastrous second half of the season Sparta were relegated. Since Strootman, along with Erik Falkenburg and Nick Viergever, was regarded as one of Sparta's (and The Netherlands') big talents, signals that he would leave the club were getting stronger. In June 2010, champions FC Twente were expected to sign him but the deal did not materialise.

On 28 June 2011, it was announced Strootman transferred to Eredivisie side PSV Eindhoven in a duo-transfer with FC Utrecht teammate Dries Mertens for a combined total of 13 million euros. On the opening day of the 2011–12 season, Strootman made his debut for PSV in a 3–1 defeat against AZ. On 24 September 2011, Strootman score his first goal for PSV in a 7–1 win over Roda JC and scored his second goal in a 6–1 win over Groningen. Since joining the club, Strootman established himself within the team's starting eleven
