The Beautiful game Where Authentic Italian Football Meets Breathtaking Backdrops

Experience the real Italy at Como’s football stadium on the lake When you wake in your hotel room to the sound of Vespas winding their way up Medieval streets and the starlings in the eaves, as the city of Como comes to life, you will experience a sense of serenity and calm. It’s a feeling that permeates every part of Como, a haven of beauty, art culture and “la bella vita” on the shores of Italy’s most well-known lake.

There is so much to enjoy while you are in Como: the breath-taking villas, beautifully manicured gardens, the churches and the art galleries. It seems like every corner has a long and fascinating story to tell. All this history lives in harmony with the modern, everyday life of a vibrant and proud Italian city, Como. The city and lake are filled with beauty, from the architecture that surrounds you, to the precious gems of towns that hug the lake shore further north. Ride the funicular to the town of Brunate that sits above Como and marvel at the city from above, with a view of the north of the lake from Volta’s Lighthouse.

Starting your day as you do in Italy, with a cappuccino and croissant in one of Como’s cafés and you will see La Gazetta dello Sport, the pink newspaper dedicated to sport that is read as a morning ritual by Italians. Football is a religion in Italy - like fashion and art, it touches

every aspect of life, and you simply can’t experience real Italian living without getting to experience Italian football.

Como has its very own football club, Como 1907, a historic club with a fantastic story to tell.

The club currently plays in the country’s Serie B league, the second tier of the competition.

Furthermore, since 2019 the club has been under new ownership, and it has high ambitions.

The new owners, including World Cup winning Arsenal and Barcelona legends Cesc Fàbregas and Thierry Henry, the former playing in Como’s midfield, have assembled a young, talented and exciting squad of football players with the ability to take the club forward and play at the highest level.

Como 1907 play at their home stadium, the Stadio G. Sinigaglia, which sits right on the lake shore. Built in 1927, it is one of the first and best examples of Italian rationalist architecture, designed by Giovanni Greppi and Gianni Mantero. It is named after local rowing champion and World War I hero, Giuseppe Sinigaglia.

With stunning views of the lake and surrounding forested hills, the Sinigaglia is one of the most incredible stadiums in the world. There is no other stadium that has such a breath-taking view from the stands. Situated right beside

the Aeroclub Como, the oldest seaplane flight operation in the world, you can watch the seaplanes circle above the stadium as they come in to land on the lake.

The club’s fanatical supporters are the beating heart of Como 1907. They bring passion and energy to support their team when they play in the Sinigaglia. The “curva” is alive with blue and white as the fans sing their hearts out at every game. The stadium is the place to see and be seem. As is the case in Italy, it is a way to experience a true slice of authentic Italian, Como life, from the point of view of the locals in a family-friendly atmosphere. The stadium is just a five minute walk from the city, so the whole of Como becomes involved in game day. If you really want to experience the best of Como, then you have to come to the Stadio Sinigaglia to watch a game. Join the locals as they make their way through town, stopping to eat and drink on the way, along the lake shore and through the Giardini del Tempio Voltiano for an unforgettable experience.

While the new owners are investing in the club under the direction of CEO, Chelsea and England

legend Dennis Wise, the club is also investing in the community of Como. Como 1907 is nothing without the support of the people, so the club is dedicated to giving back to the community.

Contributions include funds, supports, grants and initiatives that benefit the community at all levels, under the club’s Como4como network.

Rewarding the organisations that work hard to sustain local communities in need is part of the club’s mission. A portion of all Como 1907 merchandise goes back into community initiatives, so when you travel, buy souvenirs to leave a positive impact on the people of Como.

Como 1907 is living its Renaissance moment.

It’s a club with an illustrious history, rooted in the people and the community that make up the club, but with a bright future full of exciting possibilities. We’re broadening our fan base, to include people from all over the world. Come and support Como football to become part of its story and see the history we are making on and off the pitch.
