Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia

Situated on the edge of Lake Como, one of the most beautiful and famous lakes in the world, the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia has long been a bucket-list stadium for football fans around the world.

However, since Como became a relevant force in Italian football following a takeover in 2019, the stadium has attracted more attention than ever before, which has seen fans from across Europe flock to the stadium on a weekly basis.

While the beauty of the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia is almost entirely down to its backdrop, the stadium itself has plenty of charm. Built in 1927, the stadium has undergone several renovations over the years, but the character of the original build remains intact with open corners and compact stands.

Away fans are usually placed in the Curva Monumento Opositi, which is the stand behind the goal on the east end of the stadium. There is room for around 1,000 fans in the away section, which isn’t great, but the view of the pitch from here is excellent.

In terms of atmosphere, the open corners do make it difficult for fans to create consistent noise.

Como don’t traditionally have the largest or loudest fanbase in Italian football, but their fans can still make the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia a difficult place for opposing teams to play. Some of the chants you can expect to hear on a trip to the stadium include:

• Semm Cumasch
• Segna per noi, gonfia la rete
• La Voce del Lago
• Binaco Blu

The design of the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia is rather unusual as it is made up of five stands rather than the standard four. There are two large stands that run the length of the pitch on either side, a curved stand at one end, and then two ‘normal’ stands side by side at the opposite end.

The best views of the pitch can be found in either of the two stands that run the length of the pitch – the Tribuna D’Onore and the Tribuna Distinti. Both of these stands are similar in size, but the D’Onore is where the club officials and VIPs sit, so there are more standard ticket options in the Distinti.

Due to how close the Tribute Distnti is to the pitch, try to get tickets as high up the stand and as close to the halfway line as possible for the best view.

For the best atmosphere, look to get tickets in either of the two stands opposite Curva Monumento Ospiti (the away stand). This is where Como’s loudest fans typically congregate.

Seating plan

The stadium is a short walk away from the centre of Como, where you will find plenty of vintage Italian bars. Closer to the stadium, here are a couple of options:

• Bar pino – Viale Massenzio Masia, 48, 22100 Como CO, Italy
• Ostello Bello – Viale Fratelli Rosselli, 9, 22100 Como CO, Italy
• Arnold’s Pub – Via Borgo Vico, 166, 22100 Como CO, Italy

The food options inside the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia are nothing to get giddy about, so if you want a substantial meal before a Como match, take advantage of the plethora of lakeside restaurants in the local area.

In terms of drinks, Como’s own beer, La Comasca, is served inside the stadium and is well worth a try. Soft drinks are also available.

As touched upon above, you are not going to be short of options when it comes to finding somewhere to eat and drink in Como. Some of our restaurant recommendations include:

• Lavitaebella – Piazza Domenico Croggi, 4, 22100 Como CO, Italy
• La Pasta Bistrot – Via Paolo Carcano, 11, 22100 Como CO, Italy
• Platea Ristorante – Piazza Alcide de Gasperi, 8, 22100 Como CO, Italy

By car

Take the A9 motorway and exit at Como Centro. From there,  you will need to initially follow the signs for ‘Centro’ and then ‘Stadio. Parking options are limited, though, so walking or using public transport are better ways to get to the stadium.

By public transport

There are three railway stations in Como that are located within walking distance of the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. These are:

• Como Logo on the east side of the city centre
• Como Borghi on the outskirts of the city centre
• San Giovanni, which is 200m away from the stadium

Clearly, San Giovanni is the preferred option, and this station is served by trains from Milan.

The Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia has a current capacity of 10,759, but this figure has fluctuated through history. When it first opened in the 1920s, the official capacity was around the 6,000 mark, and it remained largely untouched until the 1970s, when the athletics track was removed and the stands were moved closer to the pitch. 

Fast forward to 1990, and the Tribuna Stand and the Curva Como were both completely rebuilt. A new grandstand was added to the east side of the stadium in the early 2000s, which left the overall capacity at around 14,000. 

In the late 2000s and early 2010s, the club faced financial hardship, which led to a drastic reduction in the stadium’s capacity by more than 5,000 due to the closure of certain areas.

However, following a takeover in 2019, the club have risen through the pyramid of Italian Football and renovation work has seen the stadium’s capacity increase again to 10,759. There are plans in place to increase this further in the coming years, while the idea of a complete rebuild is also on the table.

The Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia hasn’t been used frequently for concerts over the years. However, in 2025, it did host a festival called “Live on the Lake”, which featured Becky Hill as the headline act. There are rumours that the festival could return in future, which would provide the club with another revenue stream.

Other artists to have played concerts at the stadium include Deep Purple and Status Quo.

Global chart sensation Becky Hill will headline Live On The Lake, a one-night concert on 25 July at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, alongside Italian hitmaker Sick Luke and renowned DJ Patrick Nazemi.

Prior to moving to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in 1928, Como played their home matches at the Campo di via dei Mille. The club moved to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia as soon as it was built, as it had a bigger initial capacity than the Campo di via dei Mille.

The Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia has also hosted international football matches over the years, most notably Italy u-21 fixture in 1997, 1993 and 2002. The stadium was also famously used as the finish line for the Giro di Lombardia in the 1960s and 70s.
