The story of Mirwan Suwarso, who willingly gave up his Champions League seat for a Como 1907 supporter.

The name Mirwan Suwarso has become a prominent figure ahead of Como 1907's historic Champions League debut. The Indonesian businessman serving as President of Como 1907 demonstrated special care for the club's supporters by giving up his reserved seat to attend the match.

Como 1907 will make the first Champions League appearance in the club's entire history when they face RB Leipzig on Friday 11 September 2026 at 02.00 WIB.

For this Italian club, this fixture marks the start of a new era after they successfully qualified for Europe's elite football competition.

Mirwan's decision proves that despite his position as a senior club official, he has not forgotten those who have stood alongside Como 1907 throughout its entire journey.

News of this decision was revealed by world-renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano via his official X account.

"Como President Mirwan Suwarso, alongside the full club board of directors, have chosen to hand over their seats to supporters for this historic Champions League debut match against Leipzig," stated Fabrizio Romano on Tuesday 8 September 2026.

Mirwan Selected Senior Long-Time Supporters

Mirwan Suwarso did not simply open up his seat for random spectators. He specifically requested these reserved seats be allocated to Como fans who have followed the club's journey for decades.

Fabrizio Romano confirmed Mirwan had officially announced to Como 1907 supporters that all board members' exclusive seats would be made available for fans.

"Suwarso announced that these seats will be granted to Como supporters born in 1950 or earlier," he added.

This choice gives Como's Champions League debut a completely unique dimension. Amidst the glamour and prestige of top European football, Mirwan chose to reserve these privileged spots for the generation of fans that have walked every step of the club's long journey.

"These seats are being given to loyal supporters who have stood by Como across every era of the club, so they may witness this historic moment of the club's first ever Champions League match in person," he explained.

For these fans, the chance to watch Como compete in the Champions League is far more than just attending a football match. They will watch the club they have supported through every high and low finally step onto the biggest stage in European club football.

Indonesian Presence At Como 1907

Mirwan Suwarso's leadership has made Como 1907's road to the Champions League draw massive public attention across Indonesia. The Indonesian national holds a core leadership position at this Italian club as they prepare for one of the most important matches in their entire history.

Como 1907 secured their Champions League place after finishing 4th in Italy's Serie A during the 2025/2026 season. This qualification was confirmed after Como closed the domestic campaign with a convincing 4-0 victory over Cremonese.

RB Leipzig will be Como's first ever opponent in the Champions League. This fixture will also serve as the Italian club's first ever competitive test at the highest level of European club football.
