CESC FABREGAS’ Italian side Como have unveiled stunning new plans to redevelop their lakeside stadium. The Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia is regarded by many as the most picturesque arena in European football. Situated by Lake Como, it boasts breathtaking views for both home and away supporters. And with Como now playing in Serie A, plans are afoot to make it one the best stadiums around. The minnows are managed by none other than Arsenal and Chelsea icon Fabregas.

They sit 15th in the table, two points above the relegation zone. And after being promoted from Serie B last season, Como have already seen the capacity of their stadium increase from 7,798 seats to 10,584. Now, the club have confirmed a lengthy process to redevelop their home ground further. The three-stage plan is set to take shape in May 2026, with the first construction phase finishing in October 2027.

And the project, which does not yet specify how many more seats will be added, will be a “gift for the entire community” as it looks to boost the surrounding area. Como president Mirwan Suwarso said: “Our aim is to ensure Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia remains a vital part of the community. “The new project must honour the Giuseppe Sinigaglia stadium legacy while making it an active and accessible space for all citizens and visitors — not just for football, but for everyone to enjoy, 365 days a year.”.
