About Como 1907
Founded in 1907, Calcio Como has been a historic pillar of Italian football, with a legacy rooted in passion, dedication, and community involvement. In 2017 the club faced adversity when financial troubles led to relegation to Serie D. Revitalisation came in 2019 with the acquisition by Indonesian conglomeration the Djarum Group, who spearheaded a successful resurgence, culminating in a return to Serie A in 2024. Nestled on Lake Como’s shore, the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium encapsulates Como 1907’s deep roots within its city. The club embodies Como’s vibrancy, historic charm, and community spirit.
