Today we visit the city of Como, Italy and their beautiful Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia!
History:
Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia is a multi-use stadium in Como, Italy. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of Como 1907. Como 1907, commonly referred to as Como, is an Italian football club based in Como, Lombardy, Italy. The club currently plays in Serie B, the second tier of Italian football, following promotion from the 2020-21 Serie C season. The club was founded in 1907, and the team's colour is royal blue. Como were in Serie A in 2002-03; this was followed by three consecutive relegations that brought the team down in Serie C2 at the end of the 2004-05 season after having lost a playoff (2-1 on aggregate) to Novara Calcio, and being then even cancelled from Italian professional football because of bankruptcy. They were successively admitted to Serie D, the top level of non-professional football in Italy, where they spent three seasons before finally managing to win promotion back to Serie C2 in the 2007-08 season. After a further bankruptcy in 2016, a new company re-founded the club in 2017 and was admitted to Serie D from 2017 to 2018 season.
Como were first promoted to Serie A in 1949 and enjoyed a respectable four-year stay before relegation, the next 20 years were spent moving between Serie B and C but more often the former. A revival in the 1970s saw the club emerge as contenders for promotion to Serie A, this was achieved in 1975, but despite the best efforts of players such as Alessandro Scanziani they would last only a season. They would slump to C1 by 1978, but with a rebuilt team containing stars like Pietro Vierchowod would achieve successive promotions and a two-year stay in Serie A (1980-82). Como managed another promotion to the top flight in 1984, with a five-year stint in Serie A proving the club's most successful period of recent times. The strikeforce of Dan Corneliusson and Stefano Borgonovo oversaw a 9th-place finish in 1986, which was repeated the following year with far fewer goals scored. The club's defence, led by hard man Pasquale Bruno, proved more than up to the task however. Relegation in 1989 precipitated a rapid decline, with Como spending most of the 1990s in Serie C1 with the exception of 1994-95. Former Chelsea and Tottenham goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini spent a year on loan at Como.
The 21st century saw Como experience a brief revival. Promotion to Serie B in 2001 was marred by an appallingly violent incident in a game against Modena, resulting in captain Massimiliano Ferrigno being handed a three-year ban. They nonetheless managed promotion to Serie A in the 2002-03 season. However, the return to Serie A proved a major disappointment with the side in the bottom two all season, and a ban on games at the Sinigaglia after crowd violence. Successive relegations have caused financial difficulties; in December 2004 the club was declared bankrupted. New economic problems arose in season 2016-17 obliging the club to be declared out of business and put in auction. At the fourth auction the assets of the club was acquired by Akosua Puni Essien, wife of the Ghanaian footballer Michael and first foreign businesswoman in Italian football (via a company F.C. Como S.r.l.). However, Italian Football Federation (FIGC) rejected the application of F.C. Como as the successor in the place of 2017-18 Serie C, as the club did not fulfil all the criteria in the Article 52 of N.O.I.F.. At the start of season, another company Como 1907 S.r.l. was admitted to 2017-18 Serie D instead, excising another sub-clause of the Article 52. After winning the Round B of Serie D, Como returned to professional football in 2019.
The stadium holds 13,602 people. The stadium was completed in 1927 and was built on precise will of Benito Mussolini. It is named after the Italian rower and war hero Giuseppe Sinigaglia, a native of Como. In 2004 British rock band Deep Purple played a concert there.
