Como cleared to host Champions League matches at lakeside home, PSG visit on 20 January | OneFootball

On their Champions League debut, Como have been cleared to play all four league phase home games at the 13,000-capacity Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia beside Lake Como, visible from the stands, with PSG due there on 20 January.

The club had weighed moves to Reggio Emilia or Udine, several hundred kilometres away, because the ground initially fell short of requirements. The club confirmed on Tuesday that UEFA has approved use of the Sinigaglia, putting tickets on sale for all four fixtures.

The venue underwent three months of work over the summer, including a complete refurbishment of one stand.

The stadium will stage its first Champions League match next week, when Leipzig visit on Thursday 10 September.

Cesc Fabregas’s side will also host Manchester United on 21 October and AEK Athens on 24 November.
