Fabregas, film stars and Disney: How Como are disrupting Italian football | BBC Sport

Video Overview & Insights

BBC Sport travels to Lake Como to uncover how one of Italy’s most beautiful destinations is transforming its football club into a global brand. Led by coach Cesc Fabregas, Como FC are blending tourism, luxury and a bold on‑pitch philosophy to disrupt Serie A’s established powers - and chase a place in European competition.

The story is captivating, but if the numbers don't show the results, it is just a failed project.

From celebrity visitors to an ambitious “Disney‑style” sports project, this is the inside story of how Como are trying to change Italian football forever.

Ma per quale cazzo di motivo non avete comprato la Sampdoria? Avete preso una squadra da cinquemila spettatori a partita, qui ne avevate trentamila e avevate il mare.

I've been a Milan fan all my life ever since the 80ies. I had hoped they would try to get Fabegras last season, and not Allegri. And ok, Fabegras probably would have declined. But they didnt even try. And watching Milan this season, and watching Como, I was actually rooting for Como to still snatch that Champions League ticket from us on the final day. Because they actually played football, and we tried to prevent people from playing football 🤷🏼‍♂️

Interesting from a business perspective, sad for football, another step in the hyper-commercialization of the sport.

@KimmS16

Sorry , but as a guy who lives nearby Como, I have some critiques about this model: even though from the outside it seems incredible and beautiful, we're having a problem with overtourism that not only is not solved, but it gets worse (thanks also to the football squad). I can no longer sustain going to the lake in places like Colonno , Sala Comacina, Griante, etc., and I can't afford to see Como's match either . It's nice to see Como's rise, but the price for this success is paid by the Comaschi, and that's not fair. (P.S. We 're worried also because we've seen Bellagio, another city on the Lario, become trash thanks to George Clooney and overtourism.)

Yeah ....indonesia, 🇮🇩....we ❤ Como

Como is disrupting nothing at all.
The owner is doing a lot of debt that's all
In the near future the bubble is going to pop as usual

I’ve been an inter fan since 2005, but watching their style of play has become so boring in the last five or six that I’ve started watching Como. I also visit there about every year they couldn’t be happier watching them play. I hope it doesn’t turn to Disney because Como is heaven on earth.

That's the only reason why the English football is flying high : just get some wealthy individuals job done NOT A SECRET

@rob5197

Please sign Calvin Verdonk from Lille. He has similar style with Kimmich and Lahm from Bayern Munich. Surely can fit into fabregas playing system

@giovannipascoalr257

From an Interista standpoint I would say the fall of como😂
