Newport County are finalising plans to host Italian giants Roma in a glamorous pre-season friendly at Rodney Parade.
The Exiles hope to face the Serie A side on Tuesday, 4 August in a high-profile warm-up for their 2026-27 League Two campaign that starts later in the month.
There are reports Cardiff City could also host Roma - possibly on the first weekend of August - before their return to the Championship.
That would suit Cardiff given they do not currently have a warm-up match scheduled for the first week of August.
Roma have confirmed on their website that they are heading to Wales at the end of July for an eight-day training camp at the same complex where the Bluebirds are based, Hensol resort in the Vale of Glamorgan.
