Como 1907 Matchday Guide: A Lakeside Fairy Tale and the Most Beautiful Stadium in the World

Glamour, ambition and an unbeatable setting. The Sinigaglia is small — barely over 13,000 — but the lake views from the stands are extraordinary, and the local tifosi are loud and emotional throughout. There’s a real buzz around this club now: high-profile signings, a possession-based style under Fàbregas, and the novelty of European nights coming to a ground this size. Note the stadium is mid-redevelopment to meet UEFA standards, with the Curva Como rebuilt and further work planned, so expect some disruption and shifting layouts. Expect a unique, cosmopolitan matchday in one of the loveliest locations in world football.

This is one of the easiest grounds in Serie A to reach. Como is a small, walkable city, and the Sinigaglia sits right by the lake, a short stroll from the centre. Three stations serve the city: Como San Giovanni (the closest to the ground, just a few hundred metres away, with trains from Milano Centrale and Garibaldi), Como Lago on the eastern side of the centre, and Como Borghi on the outskirts. Milan is only around an hour away by train, so many visitors day-trip in. Don’t try to drive into town on matchday — walking is far simpler. Our getting around Como guide has the train details.

The lakeside setting makes the pre-match a joy. Right by the ground, Bar Pino is about as close as you can get without being inside, and Ostello Bello is just across the road — both lively gathering points. Beyond that, Como’s elegant lakefront is lined with bars and restaurants perfect for a drink with a view before kickoff. Inside the ground, look out for Como’s own beer, La Comasca. It’s a stylish, scenic build-up in a town more used to glamour than football crowds. Our Como sports bars guide points you to the best lakeside spots.

Payment is card-friendly, and kiosks serve the usual fare plus the local La Comasca beer. The Sinigaglia’s whole appeal is its character and setting: a compact, rationalist 1927 design with the lake visible from most of the stands — there really isn’t a bad view. The Curva Como is the vocal home end; the Tribuna Coperta facing the lake holds the premium seats, and the Distinti runs along the lakeside. Away fans go in the Curva Monumento Ospiti. With redevelopment ongoing to bring the ground up to UEFA standard, some areas are changing season to season, so soak up this unique little arena while its historic form remains.

The club’s rapid rise, the small capacity and now Champions League football mean tickets are in high demand, so book well ahead. Buy through the official club website; membership helps for the biggest games, but non-members can generally purchase for most fixtures. As across Italy, tickets are nominative and photo ID matching the name is checked at the gate. European nights and visits of the big Italian clubs are the hardest to secure. Entry is by digital ticket. Our Como tickets guide walks through the official sale.

With the ground in the heart of town, the getaway is easy — a short walk back into the centre or to the station, and no big-city crush. Como then rewards a lingering evening: the lakefront promenade, the cathedral, and the bars and restaurants of the old town are delightful, and the whole area drips with glamour. A boat trip on the lake, the funicular up to Brunate, or a day exploring towards Bellagio all make Como a superb short break, easily paired with Milan. If you’re staying over, a base near the lakefront keeps you close to everything; our Como hotels guide covers the options.

Arrive by train at San Giovanni — it’s the closest station, a few hundred metres from the ground.

Don’t drive into town — Como is small and walkable, and matchday traffic is best avoided.

Drink by the lake — the lakefront bars, and Bar Pino by the ground, are the ideal pre-match.

Book early — the small ground plus Champions League football makes tickets scarce.

Check the venue status — with redevelopment ongoing, confirm sections and access before you go.

Make a lake trip of it — Como is one of the world’s loveliest short breaks, football aside.

Facts verified July 2026. The Sinigaglia is undergoing a phased, contested redevelopment, so capacity, sections and even the venue could change — confirm the latest details on the official Como 1907 website before you travel.
