The president of Como, Mirwan Suwarso, and other club directors gave up their seats for the team's European debut. The decision came because these seats were reserved for fans born in 1950 or before, i.e., aged 75 or older.
Como is living a historic moment by participating for the first time in a European competition. This is the Italian club's first season in the elite of Italian football after their return to Serie A.
The gesture by the president and directors was seen as a gesture of respect and tribute to the club's oldest fans, allowing people with a long connection to Como to be present at this special occasion.
Mirwan Suwarso, the Indonesian owner of the club, thus decided to prioritize the older fans over the club's own officials, symbolically marking the importance that tradition and the club's history have for the new leadership.
