Maxima Roma: Matiasic Presents the Project with Francesco Totti: “To the Top as Soon as Possible”

Paul Matiasic introduced Maxima Roma, the capital’s new club that aims to surprise everyone right from its first year. The former owner of Pallacanestro Trieste outlined his project at a press conference, which also involves Roma legend Francesco Totti as an advisor to the club.

“He is the heart of Rome. He’ll play a very important role—not just a symbolic one. He’s our captain. Rome deserves great basketball and a new model of sports entertainment. The goal is to win and reach the top as quickly as possible.”

The former soccer player can’t wait to get started: “I was on a different path, but when I met Paul and he told me what he wanted to do for Rome, I was convinced. Here, they’ve made me feel valued and part of the project. There were opportunities in the world of soccer that I could have accepted, but I wasn’t as convinced. I also spoke with Malagò about the national team, but it was just a casual chat.”

“We’re hungry to rise to the top,” said Matiasic. It wasn’t easy to build this team; it was a long process, and now we want to reach the highest levels.” The main goal is the NBA Europe championship: “We’ll establish a foundation by investing five million euros: the city will be fully involved in our project.”
