Como's Champions League debut will be a historic night for the club – and they are making sure some of their most loyal supporters get to experience it from inside the stadium.Como president Mirwan Suwarso was disappointed to discover that several longstanding fans had missed out on tickets for Thursday's clash with RB Leipzig at the Sinigaglia. The lakeside stadium, with a capacity of just 14,000, has never hosted a match of this magnitude.๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ | Como president Mirwan Suwarso and other club directors will give their seats to supporters for their UEFA Champions League debut match vs RB Leipzig. ๐โ The tickets will go to Como fans who were born in 1950 or earlier, so they can experience history.โฆ pic.twitter.com/yofwnjKVVEโ EuroFoot (@eurofootcom) September 8, 2026 Suwarso decided to give up his usual allocation of four tickets, with other members of the Como executive team following his example. More than 40 tickets have now been freed up for supporters who have followed the club for decades.Among those invited is Gerardo Mandressi, in his late 70s and better known around the Sinigaglia as "Il Barba". A passionate collector of Como memorabilia, Mandressi has found it increasingly difficult to attend matches in recent years.That will change on Thursday.##NAJAVA_MECA_9945933##Como have also arranged transport for some of their oldest supporters, including 90-year-old Mario Pozzetti and 81-year-old Enrico Colombo. Bruno Mandaglio, 78, still cycles to the Sinigaglia, while 71-year-old Gianni Canova lives within walking distance of the stadium.The gesture is another example of Como's growing connection with their community. The club have previously organised free rounds of drinks in selected bars whenever the team scored, while the beer served at the Sinigaglia, La Comasca, is produced locally.And Como have plenty to celebrate on the pitch too. They have made an unbeaten start to Serie A, beating Napoli 2-1 away before thrashing Genoa 4-0.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Now, with the finishing touches being made at the Sinigaglia ahead of their historic European night, Como are ensuring that the supporters who have waited the longest get to witness the club's biggest moment yet.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUEROUND 1Tuesday19.45: (1.75) AEK (3.90) LASK (4.50)19.45: (2.65) Club Brugge (3.30) Aston Villa (2.70)22.00: (5.00) Porto (4.00) Man.City (1.70) 22.00: (1.75) Dortmund (4.00) Villareal (4.20) 22.00: (2.30) Lille (3.40) Betis (3.10) 22.00: (1.60) Real Madrid (4.40) Inter (5.00) Wednesday19.45: (1.08) Barcelona (13.0) Feyenoord (20.0) 19.45: (1.23) Stuttgart (6.75) Viking (11.0) 22.00: (1.75) Liverpool (3.90) Atl.Madrid (4.50) 22.00: (4.90) Napoli (3.60) Arsenal (1.75) 22.00: (1.05) PSG (14.0) Slovan B.
