(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 17 - The interior ministry's national committee for public order and security on Friday sounded the alarm about the risk of possible violence between fans at Sunday's Rome derby between Lazio and AS Roma and next Thursday's international game between Italy and England in Naples.
    Around 2,000 England fans are expected to come to the southern Italian city for the match.
    Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri, meanwhile, said Friday that he had asked Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi to ban Feyendoord fans for the Italian leg of the Dutch side's Europa League quarter-final against AS Roma due to fears of trouble.
    Fans of Eintracht Frankfurt were banned from attending their team's Champions League clash against Napoli this week but hundreds came to Naples anyway and there was havoc before and after the game.
    Beforehand, UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin criticized the decision to stop Frankfurt residents attending and threatened to move games away from clubs' home grounds if away fans are banned in future. (ANSA).
