Como receives approval to host Champions League matches at Stadio Sinigaglia

Como confirmed on September 4, 2026, that the Stadio Sinigaglia is cleared to host the club’s home fixtures for the upcoming UEFA Champions League campaign. The announcement follows a period of uncertainty regarding whether the historic venue could meet strict UEFA standards for European competition. To secure this approval, the club completed a significant renovation program, which included the construction of a new stand and necessary infrastructure and safety upgrades. These improvements allow the team to remain at their home ground, avoiding a potential move to the Mapei Stadium in Sassuolo. The club qualified for the Champions League for the first time in its history following the conclusion of the 2025-26 season. Como has utilized the stadium for nearly 100 years, making the venue’s eligibility a significant development for the club and its supporters.
