In Aprilia, a dispute has emerged regarding the PalaOrlandi sports facility and the management of the Ricreatorio Pio II. Critics allege the municipality is attempting to assume approximately 1.9 million euro of debt from the private entity Ricreatorio Pio II under the pretext of sports policy, citing a lack of transparency and independent property valuations.

Concurrently, the construction company SOGEIM has addressed concerns regarding the Palazzetto dello Sport. The company clarified that the facility, completed in April 2023 for 4.4 million euro, is an urbanization work that the municipality will receive free of charge. SOGEIM also stated that technical meetings with the Fire Brigade confirmed fire safety systems are up to code following a legal challenge at the TAR. The municipality has requested a technical meeting with CONI and the Fire Brigade to re-evaluate documentation.
