Como's ambitious stadium redevelopment continues to gather pace, with the club racing to modernise Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.

Fresh footage, however, has revealed one surprising feature that has caught the attention of supporters.

Latest footage suggests new Como stand will not have a roof

New images from Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia show rapid progress on Como's new permanent stand, with the structure beginning to rise just 10 weeks after construction got underway.

The redevelopment is a crucial part of the club's plans to replace the temporary scaffold curva, which does not comply with UEFA regulations and must be removed as Como prepare to host European football.

While the speed of construction has impressed supporters, the latest footage has also highlighted an unexpected omission, with the new stand appearing set to be built without a roof.

Although the club has not officially confirmed the final design, the absence of any obvious roof structure has prompted speculation about what the finished stand will look like.

The redevelopment comes at a pivotal moment for Como, whose remarkable rise under their Indonesian ownership has seen them qualify for the Champions League group stage.

UEFA inspectors have already visited the stadium as the club works to ensure it can meet the governing body's stricter infrastructure requirements.

Time remains a significant factor, with Como aiming to complete the new stand before any potential European fixtures later this year.

If it's not ready in time, then the Serie A outfit faces playing matches somewhere else, such as Udinese's Stadio Friuli.

The pace of construction is encouraging, particularly given the tight deadlines facing Como.

Even if the apparent lack of a roof proves to be part of the final design, the priority is delivering a permanent, UEFA-compliant stand as quickly as possible.

With every week bringing visible progress, Como appear to be giving themselves a genuine chance of welcoming European football to one of the most picturesque stadiums in the game.
