Como Widen Sinigaglia Pitch by One Metre After Serie A Approval

Cesc Fabregas says extra width will help his side bypass the first press.

Overview

  • The Stadio Sinigaglia surface has been expanded from 105x65m to 105x66m following a club request approved by Lega Serie A after an inspection.
  • Fabregas confirmed he initiated the change to create more lateral space for wide players and to better manage opponents’ pressing.
  • The modification complies with league limits of 105x68m, leaving a further two metres of potential width available next season.
  • The adjustment is in place for tonight’s rescheduled Como–Milan match, with Como still unbeaten at home this season; Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri downplayed any impact of the wider field.
  • Coverage links the move to Como’s investment in wide options, citing players such as Diao, Jesus Rodriguez, Addai, Kuhn and Baturina.
