Summary
  • Como introduces a rule where season ticket holders lose renewal priority if they miss more than three home matches without a valid reason.
  • The measure was introduced due to high interest following Champions League qualification and the limited capacity of the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium.
  • The club appeals to ticket holders to give up their seats exclusively to Como fans when they cannot attend.
  • Renovation work is underway at the stadium to meet UEFA's Champions League requirements.

Italian football club Como, for which Croatian international Martin Baturina plays, presented new rules for its most loyal fans on Monday, August 4, 2026. According to the new regulations, season ticket holders who miss more than three home matches without a valid reason could lose their priority right when renewing their ticket for the following season.

Interest Explodes After Historic Achievement

The reason for introducing such strict measures is the sudden surge in interest in the club's matches after securing a historic spot in the Champions League. The Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium, where Como plays its home games, has limited capacity, and the club wants to ensure that seats in the stands are filled by fans who regularly attend and create an atmosphere.

Following strong reactions from parts of the fan community, the club clarified that the new measure does not involve revoking tickets during the current season. The rule will apply exclusively to the process of renewing season tickets for the next season.

Safety and Home Atmosphere First

Como also issued a clear appeal to season ticket holders: if they cannot attend a match, they should give up their seat exclusively to Como fans. The club emphasized that the goal is to preserve safety at the stadium and the home atmosphere, especially ahead of the first European season in the club's history.

Renovation work is also underway at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium to meet all UEFA requirements for hosting Champions League matches. If everything is completed as planned, Como will be able to play its European matches at its own stadium, in front of its fans.
