Italian soccer clubs Lazio and AS Roma have set up a joint company to bid for Rome's Foro Italico sports complex, which includes the Olympic Stadium they currently share as their home ground.

The clubs said in a statement on Monday that they would have equal control of the company.

The Foro Italico complex, first built under Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, includes the 75,000-seat Olympic Stadium, site of the 1960 Olympic Games as well as swimming pools and clay tennis courts.

Last month, the government said it would sell off the complex "very shortly" once the auction rules were finalised. The complex is estimated to be worth around 1.0 trillion lire (US$444 million).
