Police Detain 70 After Bologna Fan Bus Triggers Pre‑Match Clash in Como

Officers restored order following a deliberate evasion of the prescribed arrival route by a visiting supporters' bus.

Overview

  • Confrontations broke out near Stadio Sinigaglia a few hours before the Serie A match between Como and Bologna.
  • Authorities say a bus from Bologna left the highway to avoid filtering, then its occupants forced the driver to stop to seek contact with home supporters.
  • A brief exchange escalated to thrown bottles and insults before police intervened.
  • Specialized units separated the groups, escorted visiting buses away, and temporarily closed nearby streets as a precaution.
  • Around 70 Bologna supporters were taken to the Como police headquarters under the control of Milan’s Reparto Mobile and the Guardia di Finanza’s Baschi Verdi, with procedures for stadium bans reported to be underway.
