Como 1907's Celebrity Appeal Grows as Club Eyes Future Ambitions
The Serie A team's mid-table performance contrasts with its rising global profile, fueled by Hollywood star power and Indonesian billionaire backing.
- Como 1907, owned by Indonesian billionaires Michael and Robert Hartono, has risen from Serie D to Serie A in just five years.
- Hollywood celebrities, including Hugh Grant, Kate Beckinsale, and Keira Knightley, are frequently seen at the club's matches, enhancing its reputation as the 'new FC Hollywood.'
- The club is currently ranked 13th in Serie A, comfortably above relegation but far from European qualification spots.
- Ongoing renovations at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia aim to expand its seating capacity from 10,000, with completion expected by 2027.
- Speculation persists about five-figure appearance fees for celebrity attendees, though George Clooney, a local resident, has yet to attend a match.
