Como 1907 - Official Website | Serie A

On April 21, during the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final between Inter and Como, the Larian club took part in a special day dedicated to solidarity, held as part of the Social Exchange initiative promoted by Inter Campus.

The day began in Monza at the Centro Maria Letizia Verga, where delegations from both clubs visited the spaces dedicated to Sport Therapy. This long-standing project, a collaboration between Inter Campus, the Maria Letizia Verga Foundation, and the San Gerardo Hospital, utilizes physical activity as a fundamental support tool for children undergoing treatment.

The visit to the Centro Maria Letizia Verga was a moment of profound connection, allowing representatives from both clubs to see the support activities firsthand and, most importantly, to share moments of play and joy with the young patients.

The delegations then continued to the Tettamanti Foundation laboratory, the heart of the center's scientific research. Accompanied by researcher Sarah Tettamanti, the participants gained insight into the high-level work carried out daily in the lab, with a specific focus on the research project supported by the “Quelli che… con Luca ODV” association, an organization that Como 1907 has proudly supported since 2022. This bond between the Association and the BiancoBlu club has strengthened over time through numerous initiatives, including Como’s significant decision to donate the profits from the 2024/25 third kit sales to Quelli che… con Luca ODV.

In the afternoon, the heart of the activity moved to Milan, to the Piccolo San Siro. There, under the guidance of Inter Campus coaches, children from the two teams, representing the Centro Maria Letizia Verga and Progetto Arca, took to the pitch. Amid smiles and footballs, the young protagonists enjoyed an afternoon of sport centered on inclusivity, reinforcing a fundamental message: football belongs to everyone, and its primary mission is to bring happiness.

To conclude an emotion-filled day, the children headed to the San Siro Stadium to watch the Coppa Italia semi-final between Inter and Como live. In the stands, their cheering and passion were the perfect end to an experience that celebrated the game in its purest form.

For Como 1907, days like this confirm that true victory lies in the ability to "make a team" far beyond the 90 minutes of play, putting sport at the service of those facing the most difficult challenges.

Como 1907 celebrates its women’s first team, which today clinched the Serie B title with three matches remaining, securing the club’s first-ever promotion to Serie A Women.

The BiancoBlu achieved their goal in Rome, on Trastevere’s home turf, maintaining an eleven-point lead over second place and sealing the title in the best possible way. Como 1907 Femminile will therefore compete next season in the top national division, Serie A Women.

Led by head coach Selena Mazzantini, the team won the championship and secured promotion in its first season in Serie B Women, posting a record of 18 wins, three draws, and one loss, with the league’s best attack and best defense. It has been a standout campaign for the BiancoBlu, who also played two matches at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium during the season.

Head of Women’s Football Heather O’Reilly said: “We are thankful for the Club’s support, allowing us the platform to be successful. The team, the players did everybody proud throughout the whole season, the character to be focused on every game and to win the league with three games to spare speaks so much of their level and mentality. For some of these players it was a step down to come to the Serie B but we were all unified in our purpose which was to be champions and we did it today”.

Coach Selena Mazzantini added: “The team was once again fantastic; it was a well-deserved victory that they built, pursued, and earned. This victory is also for everyone who worked to ensure the players were in the best possible condition to perform at their best, putting on a great show and delivering results. Being promoted to Serie A is a significant achievement; it is an honor to represent this club and these colors.”

Captain Vero Boquete commented: "Today's match was another reflection of this season: Serie B isn't easy, but the team has always stayed united, pursuing a clear goal, and we've finally achieved it. This is a truly special day for us; we've won a title and reached a milestone that will last forever. We’ve been on a special journey; we’ve stayed united through the good times and the bad, with the support of the entire staff and the Club. Dealing with the pressure to win and actually pulling it off is never easy, but we did it."

The Club is immensely proud to celebrate this important milestone for the entire Como 1907 organization and the BiancoBlu women’s division.

Nearly 10 days after the match against Sassuolo, Como 1907 return to Serie A action away to Genoa. On Sunday at 3:00 pm, the BiancoBlu will travel to face the side coached by Daniele De Rossi, currently 13th in the table with 39 points. The Rossoblù have won four of their last six league matches, including important victories over Roma and Sassuolo. Since De Rossi’s arrival on the bench, Genoa have climbed away from the more dangerous areas of the table, establishing themselves as a compact side capable of scoring and staying in games against any opponent, including teams at the top end of the standings. Sunday’s match at “Marassi” promises to be a tough one for Como, facing a forward line rich in options and quality. Cesc Fàbregas’ team will look to bring all their qualities to the pitch in an attempt to return to winning ways in Serie A, while Genoa will be aiming to secure mathematical safety.

Here are the words of Como 1907 head coach Cesc Fàbregas ahead of Genoa-Como:

“Genoa have matured a lot since the last time we saw them. Given the quality of their players, I believe they are a top-ten side. Daniele De Rossi is doing an excellent job, and I think he is the right coach for the way they want to play. They look like a complete team and we will need to prepare our players well, because it will be a very important match.

“The team is currently in good shape. They’re a courageous group, always striving for more, and periods like this are part of our individual and collective development. We need to be mentally prepared to deal with every situation in the right way.

“The team consistently shows a clear identity. They have a well-defined way of playing and a tactical approach capable of causing problems even for top sides with high-quality players, these are important progress. I believe this team can continue to grow in the coming years, improving in quality, physicality and consistency. We must continue along this path, because I believe it is the right one.”

Genoa

The Grifone are a side with plenty of quality, particularly in attack. In their usual 3-5-2 system, the two wing-backs, Norton-Cuffy on the right and Martín on the left, have been key throughout much of the season, providing width, driving forward down the flanks, and at times moving inside to add extra numbers in the final third and the penalty area. Similarly, Malinovskyi, who operates as the attacking midfielder in the 3-5-2, often pushes high into advanced areas during attacking phases, with the shape at times resembling more of a 3-4-2-1. The Ukrainian, who has scored six goals this season, is one of the most dangerous players available to Daniele De Rossi, both for his ability from distance and his creativity in setting up teammates. Genoa’s current top scorer is Lorenzo Colombo with seven goals, while Caleb Ekuban (four) and Jeff Ekhator (three) have also made important contributions. In attack, Baldanzi adds further quality, bringing strong technical ability and the capacity to operate in tight spaces, much like Messias.

With Norton-Cuffy looking to return from injury, Genoa could turn to Ellertsson on the right flank, back from suspension, as well as Frendrup, whose pace and work rate are key assets. Frendrup will operate just in front of the defence, providing protection and balance behind a physical and intense back three of Marcandalli, Ostigård and Vásquez. Ostigård, in particular, is also a real threat in attacking situations, especially from set pieces, having scored five goals this season. The side Como face on Sunday have a number of options at their disposal and will bring intensity, quality and a pragmatic approach to the match.

Previous encounters

In Genova, the two teams have met 15 times, with the record showing eight wins for the home side, six draws and one victory for Como. The BiancoBlu’s only away win in Genoa dates back to the 2003–04 season, when a goal from Belingheri proved decisive in Serie B.
