The Como Football Journal is an independent editorial project dedicated to football, culture and life in Como and around Lake Como.
The publication tells the stories behind football in the area through in-depth features, interviews, analysis and practical guides for both local readers and an international audience.
At the heart of the project is Como 1907, a club whose history, identity and development have attracted growing interest in Italy and abroad. However, The Como Football Journal looks beyond results and events on the pitch.
The publication explores the relationship between football and the city, the experience of attending a match at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, the culture of local supporters and the connections between sport, travel, hospitality and life on Lake Como.
Its purpose is to provide accurate, accessible and carefully researched content that helps readers understand not only what happens in Como football, but also the people, places and stories behind it.
The Como Football Journal is an independent publication and is not officially affiliated with Como 1907.
