Como and Sassuolo Donate Tonight’s Coppa Italia Gate to Lake Como Flood Relief

An appeal led by Cesc Fàbregas with support from Álvaro Morata follows storms that swamped lakeside towns in northern Italy.

Overview

  • Sassuolo confirmed it will renounce its competition-allocated share and direct it to the Como area, with a note signed by the Squinzi family, president Carlo Rossi and CEO Giovanni Carnevali.
  • Como 1907 announced it will donate the entire home gate from the Sassuolo tie to support the local community after Fàbregas’s public message.
  • The Coppa Italia match, valid for the round of 32, is scheduled for Wednesday, September 24 at 21:00.
  • Álvaro Morata shared images of the damage and pledged to contribute part of the match proceeds, inviting fans to participate in the solidarity effort.
  • Recent downpours caused Lake Como to overflow and temporarily isolate some lakeside towns, with wider northern Italy disruptions including a prolonged Seveso overflow in Milan reported.
