Roma thanks Italian bomb squad for removing WWII devices from training center
The Italian army and bomb squad removed a number of World War II devices from Roma’s training center at Trigoria. The team thanked the bomb squad Saturday, prefacing the tweet by saying, “Well, this doesn’t happen every day ...”
The club attached an image to the tweet, which showed two members of the bomb squad surrounded by a number of potentially explosive devices.
Well, this doesn’t happen every day... 😅
A big thank you to the Italian army and their bomb squad, after they safely and successfully removed a number of devices dating back to the Second World War from the club’s training centre at Trigoria this week! 👏 #ASRoma pic.twitter.com/8HDiURbxTe— AS Roma English (@ASRomaEN) November 28, 2020
Roma did not specify whether the devices were explosive. It appears no one was hurt as the bomb squad dug up the items.
Roma still set to play Napoli on Sunday
The news will not impact Roma’s game against Napoli on Sunday. The two teams will play at Stadio San Paolo in Naples, which is more than a two-hour drive from Trigoria. Following the game, Stadio San Paolo will be renamed Diego Armando Maradona in honor of Diego Maradona, the legendary Argentinian soccer player who died Wednesday. Maradona played for Napoli from 1984 to 1991.
