Como 1907 |
The stadium was completed in 1927 and was built on the request of Benito Mussolini. It is named after the Italian rower and war hero Giuseppe Sinigaglia, a native of Como.[1]
In 2004 British rock band Deep Purple played a concert there.[2]
Como 1907 achieved promotion to Serie A in May 2024; however, it is unclear whether they will stage their home matches at Stadio Sinigaglia during the 2024/25 season. The stadium does not currently meet the minimum capacity requirements set out by the league and therefore urgent work is required over the summer to upgrade the stadium.[3]
