Why are Lazio called the Aquile?
Lazio's 'Aquile' nickname comes from the eagle of the Roman legions — a symbol of power and Roman pride.
An Eagle from the Legions
Lazio are known as the Aquile — "the Eagles" — and at Metaverse Football Club we find it a nickname steeped in Roman power. The name comes from the aquila, the golden eagle carried as a standard by the ancient Roman legions.
Founded in 1900, Lazio adopted the eagle as its symbol, and a live eagle named Olimpia famously flies around the stadium before matches. The Aquile identity ties the club to Rome's imperial grandeur.
Sky Blue and Roman Pride
Lazio are also called the Biancocelesti — "the White-and-Sky-Blues" — after their colours. At Metaverse Football Club, we love how an ancient Roman symbol soars over a modern football club.
From the Stadio Olimpico to Serie A, the Aquile soar — a story Metaverse Football Club is glad to tell.
