This is the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia, a one-off tie with a quarter-final place against AC Milan or Monza waiting for the winner. Como enter the competition at this stage as one of the eight seeded Serie A clubs. Cremonese have already played two rounds to get here.

Cup dates and kick-off times can move for broadcasting, and Como's own calendar is crowded with Champions League nights this winter, so check the time again closer to the match. Supporters of Como will know this as the first cup match of their season, and the club includes it in the 2026/27 season ticket.
Few grounds in Italy have a setting like it. The Sinigaglia sits on the shore of Lake Como, between the gardens of the Tempio Voltiano and the hangar of the Aero Club Como seaplane base. It opened in 1927 as one of the first examples of rationalist architecture in Italy, and the journalist Gianni Brera once called it the most beautiful stadium in the world.
The ground was built for the 1927 celebrations marking the centenary of Alessandro Volta's death, and it originally held 6,000 people around a velodrome and an athletics track. It is named after Giuseppe Sinigaglia, a world champion rower from Como who was killed on Monte San Michele in 1916. The city still owns it, and the club presented plans in 2025 to take capacity to 15,000 by 2028.
Como's rise has changed the market for tickets. The club finished in the Champions League places in 2025/26, qualified for Europe for the first time in their history and also reached the Coppa Italia semi-finals before losing to Inter. A ground of around 12,400 seats does not stretch far for a club with that profile.
That cup run showed what the competition now means in Como. Under Cesc Fàbregas the side beat Südtirol and Sassuolo at home, won 3-1 at Fiorentina and knocked out Napoli on penalties at the Maradona. The semi-final first leg against Inter in March 2026 was described locally as one of the most important days in the club's history.
Supply is the main constraint. Como's average league crowd in 2025/26 was 11,451, and the season ticket covers this match. Only the seats left after season ticket holders, and any they choose to release, reach the open market.
Cremonese bring their own edge. They were relegated to Serie B in 2025/26, and Como's 4-1 win at Cremona on the final day of that season is still fresh for both sets of supporters. The two Lombard clubs have also met many times in Serie B and Serie C over the decades, so this is more than a routine cup draw.
Some of those league meetings still carry weight. The clubs were part of a three-way Serie B promotion play-off in 1983, and on the final day of 2021/22 Cremonese won 2-1 at the Sinigaglia to clinch promotion to Serie A. That result ended a wait of more than 25 years for Cremonese to return to the top flight.
Cremonese have moved between the top two divisions in recent years. They won promotion in 2022 and again in 2025, started 2025/26 unbeaten in their first four league games, including a win over Milan, and drew 1-1 at the Sinigaglia in September before going down in May. Their average home crowd that season was 12,259, so they can bring a committed following.
Cremonese earned the tie the hard way. They beat Sampdoria 2-0 in the first round in August and then won 2-0 away at Parma, a Serie A side, in the second round. A second upset against a Champions League club would be the result of their season.
Timing could help them. Como play Juventus on 29 November, Cremonese on 2 December, Monza on 5 December and Real Betis in the Champions League on 9 December, four matches in eleven days. Como's first European season has already taken them to Feyenoord for the club's first ever away match in Europe.
Yes, but season ticket holders come first. Como's 2026/27 season ticket includes all 19 Serie A home games and the club's first Coppa Italia match, which is this one. For recent high-demand matches, the club opened a first sales phase reserved for season ticket holders, who could buy up to two extra tickets each in the same section, before general sale followed a day or two later.
Every purchase runs through the club's online ticketing site and a free Como Passport account. For some sales, the club has accepted only Revolut payments during the first two days. Season ticket holders in some sectors can also resell their seats for a limited number of matches through the club's own buy-back service.
The club runs other priority routes too. Holders of tickets for the pre-season Como Cup 2026 were given early access to some league sales, and mini season tickets covering four home matches went on sale in October. Check what each package includes before assuming it covers this tie.
Local restrictions matter here. In agreement with the authorities, Como has barred residents of the visiting club's province or region from buying home-sector tickets for several matches, and away sales have been limited to the visiting club's fidelity card holders. Similar rules are likely for Cremonese and will be confirmed when sales open.
A verified marketplace gives you another way in, well before the club's sale opens. Listings let you pick your sector and quantity in one step. Italian tickets are issued in the holder's name, so read each listing's notes carefully on how the ticket will be delivered and used on the day.
Five factors move the price: where you sit, overall demand, how close the match is, the competition context and the hospitality tier. Cup ties against lower-division opponents usually sit below league prices against the big clubs, but the Sinigaglia's small capacity keeps demand high. Away-sector prices at recent Como home matches give a sense of face value, ranging from €25 for Parma to €45 for Napoli, including fees.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Est (home areas) | £35 – £60 | Budget-conscious fans and solo travellers | Behind the goal at the east end; no full season tickets are sold here this season |
| Distinti | £45 – £85 | Couples and small groups who want a side view | The uncovered long stand facing the main stand |
| Tribuna Coperta | £70 – £130+ | Fans who want cover and a central view | The covered main stand; central blocks sell first |
| Hospitality | £240 – £350+ | Corporate guests, celebrations and gifts | Lakeside pre-match venues or the Terrazza lounge; inclusions vary by package |
| Matchday experiences | £330 – £1,400+ | Buyers who want the full day | Packages with stadium tours, warm-up access or a boat tour on the lake |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Single seats are usually easier to find than pairs or fours, and often cost less. The Tribuna Coperta tends to thin out first on a cold December evening.
Hospitality follows a different logic. You are paying for dining, service and a premium seat as much as for the view, and the club's hospitality venues hold a fixed number of guests. Packages at the in-stadium Terrazza lounge started from €400 per person, with lakeside venues from €280.
The final days bring their own pressure. Once the time is confirmed and Como's rotation plans are clear, a late wave of buyers tends to arrive. Prices in those last days rarely fall.
The stadium has four sectors. The Tribuna Coperta is the main stand and, for most of the ground's history, the only covered part of it. The Distinti run along the opposite touchline, facing the Canottieri Lario rowing club, and the two curves sit behind the goals.
The ground has changed fast. The athletics and cycling tracks went in the 1970s, the Distinti were reopened with new seats after promotion in 2024, and in May 2026 the club began rebuilding the Curva Como in reinforced concrete to meet UEFA standards. The new west end now holds 4,258 seats and is home to Como's organised supporters.
It is the latest in a long line of changes. The Curva Como was first rebuilt in 2002 as a wedge of two metal stands for around 5,000, and Como played Serie A in 2002/03 in a ground of about 14,000. After the club's later bankruptcies, the licensed capacity fell below 5,000 before the recent rebuilding began.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tribuna Coperta, central | Neutrals and first visits | High | The covered main stand with the halfway-line view; the safest choice on a winter night |
| Tribuna d'Onore and Palchi | Hospitality guests | Premium | The central premium seats linked to the Terrazza lounge |
| Distinti | Groups and value seekers | Mid | Uncovered, with the glass barrier lowered this season to improve views from the lower rows |
| Curva Como (West) | Home fans who want to sing | Lower | The rebuilt home end and the base of the organised support; wear blue or neutral colours |
| Curva Est (home areas) | Budget buyers | Lower | Behind the goal at the east end, sold match by match |
| Away sector | Cremonese supporters | Lower | A segregated section of the Curva Est, listed at around 980 places; sales usually limited to the visiting club's fidelity card holders |
Neutral and undecided fans are safest in the Tribuna Coperta or the Distinti. Cremonese grey and red belongs in the away sector only. Dress for the weather if you choose the Distinti, as a December evening by the lake can be cold and damp.
The rebuild has also added undersoil heating, a larger pitch and better accessibility. Fans with disabilities buy through a dedicated process set out by the club, and the club publishes the details before each sale.
Como's hospitality is built around the lake. Most packages start in a lakeside venue a short walk from the stadium, then move guests to their seats with priority entry.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Terrazza | Business guests and couples | An in-stadium lounge linked to the Tribuna d'Onore and Palchi, with food before the match and at half-time |
| Villa Saporiti | Groups marking an occasion | Pre-match dining at a neoclassical lakeside villa 250 metres from the stadium |
| Canottieri Lario or Yacht Club | Food and wine lovers | Lakeside dining with sommelier-chosen wines, 20 metres from the ground |
| Boat Hospitality | Visitors who want the full Como day | A boat tour on the lake about three hours before kick-off, followed by lakeside dining |
Inclusions shift between packages, so read each listing for food, drinks, seat location and transfer arrangements. The club's matchday experiences go further, with options that include a stadium tour about three and a half hours before kick-off, access to the pitch during the warm-up and, in the top package, pitchside Field Box seats.
Not every package runs for every match. A December cup tie may carry a smaller hospitality offer than a Champions League night, so confirm what is included before you buy.
For a midweek cup tie, hospitality is also one of the more reliable ways to keep a group of four or more together in a ground this small.
Most tickets for this match will be digital and issued in the holder's name. Allow time to receive them and make sure the details are correct.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| E-ticket (PDF) | The name on the ticket and the ID you will carry; print a copy or keep it ready on your phone |
| Mobile ticket | Saved to your phone in advance; confirm it opens without signal before you reach the gate |
| Name change | A ticket re-registered to you through the club's system; check the new name matches your ID |
| Hospitality pack | Venue booking, seat and transfer details, kept together in one place |
Read the listing notes for delivery timing, sector and any residency restrictions before you buy. Names matter at Italian grounds. Bring an original passport or national ID card, as digital copies are often refused at the turnstile.
Arrive early. The stadium sits in a busy lakeside area close to the city centre, and the club has worked for years on managing crowd flows around it, so allow time for security checks at the gates.

Como is an easy trip from Milan. Trains run from Milano Cadorna to Como Nord Lago, on the lakefront a short walk from the stadium, and from Milano Centrale and Porta Garibaldi to Como San Giovanni. Milan's airports make the city easy to reach from abroad, and digital delivery means you do not need an Italian address. Como also sits just south of the Swiss border, so visitors staying in Lugano can reach the city by train in well under an hour.
Build some slack into your plans, as cup kick-off times can change at short notice. If you are making a longer trip, Como host Bologna in Serie A on 12 December, ten days after this tie, which makes a second night by the lake easy to plan. Ask for seats together on the listing before you pay rather than after.
On the day, the lakefront and the old town fill up early. The stadium sits a few minutes' walk from the cathedral and Piazza Cavour, so you can eat in the centre and walk to the ground along the water.
Como and Cremonese have met only four times in the Coppa Italia. Their first cup meeting came in a first-round group in August 1977, when Cremonese won 1-0 at the Zini and Como finished bottom of the group with one point. Ascoli and Atalanta were also in that group, and neither Lombard side went through.
The 1990s produced two more ties. In 1991 the sides met over two legs, with a goalless draw in Cremona followed by a 1-0 Como win at the Sinigaglia that sent Como through. In August 1996 the clubs met again at the Sinigaglia in a one-off tie that went to extra time. Riccardo Maspero put Cremonese 2-1 up in the 116th minute, Luca Lomi equalised in the 120th, and Cremonese won the shoot-out 5-4.
All four meetings came in the opening rounds of the competition, in late August or early September. The December tie will be the first time the clubs have met this deep in the Coppa Italia, and the first time a cup meeting between them has been played in winter.
What makes this fixture distinctive is how little separates the sides in the cup. Each has won one meeting, two have been drawn and the goals are level at three apiece. Thirty years on from the last cup meeting, the 2026 tie arrives with Como in the Champions League and Cremonese looking to repeat their 1996 night by the lake.
Como have hosted Cremonese only twice in the Coppa Italia, so the figures below cover all Coppa Italia meetings between the sides at every venue.
| Metric | Total |
|---|---|
| Matches played | 4 |
| Como wins | 1 |
| Cremonese wins | 1 |
| Draws | 2 (Cremonese won the 1996 draw on penalties) |
| Como goals | 3 |
| Cremonese goals | 3 |
| Biggest Como win | 1-0 (04 Sep 1991) |
| Biggest Cremonese win | 1-0 (28 Aug 1977) |
| First Coppa Italia meeting in scope | 28 Aug 1977 |
| Most recent meeting in scope | 24 Aug 1996 |
Figures calculated from the match-by-match results below, cross-checked between club archive records and season-by-season Coppa Italia results.
A few patterns stand out. Three of the four meetings produced one goal or none. The only match with more than one goal was the 1996 tie, where all four came in a game that needed extra time. Each side has scored in only two of the four meetings, and the games have been split evenly between the Sinigaglia and the Zini.
At the Sinigaglia itself, Como have never lost a cup meeting in open play, yet they have gone through only once. Their only cup win over Cremonese came 35 years before this tie. That 1996 shoot-out is the result Cremonese supporters will bring up first.
Scores are shown with the home side first, newest meeting at the top.
| Date | Score | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| 24 Aug 1996 | Como 2-2 Cremonese (Cremonese won 5-4 on penalties after extra time) | Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, Como |
| 04 Sep 1991 | Como 1-0 Cremonese | Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, Como |
| 28 Aug 1991 | Cremonese 0-0 Como | Stadio Giovanni Zini, Cremona |
| 28 Aug 1977 | Cremonese 1-0 Como | Stadio Giovanni Zini, Cremona |
Every score confirmed in at least two independent sources, including club archive records and season-by-season Coppa Italia results.
Read down the list and the pattern is clear. These have always been tight, low-scoring cup ties, and neither club has ever beaten the other by more than one goal in the competition.
Yes. The round of 16 is played over a single match, and the winner meets AC Milan or Monza in the quarter-finals.
In the segregated away section of the Curva Est. Visiting colours should stay in that area.
An original passport or national ID card that matches the name on your ticket.
The Tribuna Coperta, the main stand. The Distinti are open to the weather, which matters on a December night.
Yes, when a seller lists consecutive seats. Filter by quantity first, as blocks of four together are scarce in a ground this size.
