Como 1907 - Official Website | Serie A

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.

Como 1907 is proud to celebrate the Primavera Femminile team, who have secured first place in Group A of Primavera 2 and earned promotion to Primavera 1, the top national Under 19 division.

The achievement was confirmed with a home victory over Vicenza Femminile at the SNEF Lambrone Sports Center, bringing to a close an exceptional season for the young Biancoblù.

Led by coach Alessandro Recenti, the team earned promotion in their first year in Primavera 2, finishing the campaign with a perfect record. Sixteen matches, sixteen wins, zero draws and zero defeats. The team finished eight points ahead of second placed Bologna, with the best attack and best defence in the league.

It is a proud moment for the club and an important step in the continued development of Como 1907’s women’s football pathway, from the youth sector through to the first team.

Head of Women’s Football Heather O’Reilly said, “Winning the league is a massive accomplishment. The team and staff came together very quickly, so a lot of character, hard work and unity towards a common goal really shined this season. We want to continue to build the women and girls sector of the club where players feel like they are getting better because of a talented coaching and support staff, but also by their teammates that push them everyday. Onwards to Primavera 1! And a big congrats to the players, staff and families. Forza Como”.

Coach Alessandro Recenti added, “From day one, we tried to build something meaningful. It’s been an incredible season, and the players have been fantastic. I want to thank the staff, managers and directors, they made a real difference, because we immediately understood the potential of the Club and the identity we needed to establish. The team quickly became a real group, and the journey we’ve taken, and are still on, has been defined by the players’ mental strength. They had a goal, and they achieved it. I feel very lucky to work in an environment like Como 1907.”

Como 1907 congratulates the players, coach Recenti and the entire staff on a season that reflects their talent, commitment and daily work.

On the occasion of Earth Day, Como 1907 involved its BiancoBlu youth academy players in a special initiative dedicated to environmental protection.

Como 1907 thus confirms its commitment to sustainability through an initiative that is part of a broader journey aimed at fostering greater awareness and increasingly responsible behaviours.

The ClubHouse at the G. Sinigaglia Stadium hosted the boys and girls of the Larian youth sector for an educational experience designed to bring younger generations closer to respect for the territory and natural heritage.

The initiative, carried out in collaboration with Lario Moon, a cultural project born on Lake Como, offered participants a journey made of games, creativity and moments of discussion, with the aim of introducing them in a simple and direct way to the protection of natural resources, with a special focus on water and Lake Como.

The event featured Emmsì, the project’s symbolic character, developed by a team of creatives with the goal of translating ecological themes into an accessible and engaging language, capable of speaking to young people through visual and narrative storytelling.

Guided by this character, the youngsters took part in interactive activities ranging from memory games focused on recycling to quizzes on the water cycle, turning learning into a moment of discovery and healthy competition.

The collaboration between Como 1907 and Lario Moon is not a standalone event, but reflects a shared vision of raising awareness among younger generations by promoting respect for nature and the enhancement of the Larian territory in a concrete and engaging way.

This initiative fits within the Club’s broader vision of social and environmental responsibility: a commitment that sees Como 1907 consistently investing in education and leading by example, convinced that the involvement of young people is key to the care and protection of our planet.
