Tucano alongside women’s sport: new partnership with F.C. Como Women kicks off
Como, September 1st 2025– F.C. Como Women is proud to announce a new partnership with Tucano, an international leader in the design and production of bags, backpacks and accessories for device protection.
A partnership built on shared values
The partnership between Como Women and Tucano stems from the sharing of strong values: elegance, innovation and social responsibility. Just like the Como-based club – one of the few in Italy and Europe to be completely independent from the men’s football sector and committed to empowering women both on and off the pitch – Tucano has built its identity on creativity and ethical vision, embarking since 2017 on a concrete path towards sustainability through the use of recycled materials.
This partnership brings together two realities that see sport and design not only as performance and functionality, but also as tools for cultural change, personal expression and respect for the environment. Together, Como Women and Tucano promote a model of conscious growth, where attention to detail, elegance, style and innovation become central elements of their development strategies.
Statements from the partners
"We are extremely excited to have reached this partnership with Tucano, an iconic brand with a long history of success that shares some of the core values of our project," said Nicola Verdun, CEO of F.C. Como Women. "Together, throughout the course of this partnership, we will develop innovative activities that will bring tangible benefits to both parties."
Franco Luini, CEO of Tucano, commented: “We’re proud to support Como Women on this important journey. Women’s sports deserve increasing recognition, and Tucano is honored to play a part by providing products that help athletes face their challenges—both on and off the field. We share with the club values like commitment, innovation, and passion—principles that inspire everything we do.”
About F.C. Como Women
F.C. Como Women is one of the few professional and independent clubs in the Italian women’s football scene, currently competing in Serie A Women. In March 2024, the arrival of Mercury 13 followed by the American fund Avenue Capital marked a decisive turning point, leading to a complete rebranding, the renewal of both technical and corporate staff, and the building of a competitive roster. Under the guidance of head coach Stefano Sottili, the team closed the 2024/25 season with a record 35 points, narrowly missing the championship round and confirming the solid foundations of the project.
