Hammers announce Roma clash

West Ham United can confirm that Italian giants AS Roma will be our final visitors to Upton Park before the 2007-08 Premier League season starts in August.

The Hammers will face last season's Champions League quarter-finalists at 3pm on Saturday, August 4th in the last pre-season friendly of the summer.

Luciano Spalletti's side finished runners-up in Serie A last season behind Inter Milan and also faced the title-winners in the 2007 Coppa Italia final. Roma won the Cup 7-4 on aggregate to take the trophy for the eighth time in their history.

Roma are captained by Italy international forward and World Cup winner Francesco Totti, who has remained at the Club throughout his career. He was just 16 when he made his first appearance for the Club against Brescia in March 1993.
