F.C. Como Women and Nike Launch the 2025/26 Kits in “The Next Wave” Campaign
Como, August 13, 2025 – Exactly twelve months after joining forces with Nike, F.C. Como Women proudly reveal their official kits for the 2025/26 season. The unveiling is part of The Next Wave, a visual and narrative campaign that reflects the club’s identity: ambitious, independent, rooted in local heritage, and united by a shared vision.
Filmed along the shores of Lake Como, the campaign is more than a kit launch—it’s a statement of intent. F.C. Como Women is an ever-growing wave, propelled daily by the women & men who make the club possible—both on and off the pitch.
An Elegant Design. A Bold Vision.
The new jerseys feature a refined pattern of vertical black and white stripes, available in both Home and Away versions. The design is timeless yet forward-looking—rooted in football tradition while embracing the future.
Created by Nike, the kits combine high-quality technical materials, clean lines, and chromatic harmony. The result is a look that embodies the club’s modern, liberated, and independent identity.
“We are not anyone’s women’s team. We are F.C. Como Women. And this jersey tells our story.” – Nadine Nischler, midfielder and campaign star.
Free. Independent. Unique.
F.C. Como Women is among the very few truly independent women's clubs in Europe. Not affiliated with any men’s team, the club has built a unique culture grounded in empowerment, innovation, and self-reliance.
“This is a club that does not live in the shadow of men.” – Alexandra Chidiac, midfielder and Australian national player.
The campaign features Nischler and Chidiac, as well as captain Giulia Rizzon, Katja Schroffenegger, Ramona Petzelberger, Astrid Gilardi, Liucija Vaitukaitytė, and Zara Kramzar—alongside Academy players, fans, collaborators, and long-standing community members. Together, they represent The Next Wave: a new generation of athletes, professionals, and supporters rewriting women’s football in Italy.
A Growing Partnership
The collaboration with Nike, announced in 2024, marked a milestone for the club. Backed by Mercury 13 — the pioneering multi-club ownership group dedicated to women's football — F.C. Como Women continues its long-term growth with ambition and strategic vision.
“This alliance is not just a technical agreement: it's the sharing of a vision. Through the The Next Wave campaign, we celebrate a new generation of athletes, professionals, and supporters who are rewriting women’s football. Together with Nike, we aim to build a different model: one that is more independent, inclusive, and capable of inspiring real change, on and off the field.” – Nicola Verdun, CEO of F.C. Como Women.
The International Debut
The first official match in the new kits will take place on August 14, 2025, at 6:00 PM CET, during the prestigious The Women’s Cup at Milan’s historic Arena Civica, against Juventus. Known for its innovative format and global visibility, the tournament will mark the debut of the club's refreshed visual identity.
The official kits will be available starting August 13, 2025, at select Nike stores (Nike Corso Vittorio Emanuele and Nike Arese) and online at www.comowomen.com.
Behind the Scenes of The Next Wave Campaign
The campaign’s creative concept merges football, fashion, and contemporary culture. Filming locations highlight rarely seen corners of Lake Como—from Villa Pizzo in Cernobbio to the historic Luisita café—reinforcing the deep connection between the club and its region.
Players featured in the campaign: Giulia Rizzon, Nadine Nischler, Alexandra Chidiac, Ramona Petzelberger, Katja Schroffenegger, Astrid Gilardi, Liucija Vaitukaitytė, Zara Kramzar.
