After the away match in Chiavari, Venezia FC is preparing for another challenge away from home. On Saturday, April 18 at 3:00 PM at the Stadio Comunale San Nicola, the orange-and-black-green side will take on Bari. Antoine Hainaut previews the match, valid for the 35th round of Serie BKT, and reflects on his team’s current form.

Antoine Hainaut, Venezia FC defender:
“

In Chiavari against Virtus Entella, we played our game, and now we need to continue our path by focusing on one match at a time. Having our fans with us in home games is always great; even away, we need to try to win both for the supporters حاضر in the stands and those cheering us on from home.

Today we are focused on Bari. We’ve had a good run so far and we’re taking it one game at a time. The Apulian side needs to win to stay competitive in the relegation battle, and we need to win to remain near the top of the table: it will be a great match. We’ll try to play our game and return home with three points.

I’m satisfied with my season so far. I’m getting plenty of minutes, but it’s not over yet—I still need to score more goals and provide assists in these last four matches. We need to have confidence in ourselves and keep pushing forward toward our goal.

We have a dominant style of play. On Saturday at the San Nicola, we’ll need to deliver another positive performance and do everything possible to give our fans something to celebrate. Every team in this league is competitive—it’s a tough division, and every matchday proves it. We’re focused solely on performing well and concentrating on our next opponent

Serie BKT 25/26: ticket presale for Venezia FC - Empoli

A place of great historical and symbolic value in the heart of the city, chosen to strengthen the bond between the Club and Venice. In recent days, the Venezia FC first team visited the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, a monumental building where memory and culture engage with the local community, and which today stands as a landmark venue for events and cultural initiatives.

For the occasion, the full squad, together with Head Coach Giovanni Stroppa, posed for the first time with the complete range of Venezia FC 25/26 official kits: five match jerseys and two goalkeeper kits, brought together in a single image to underscore the strength of the Club’s visual identity and the breadth of a collection that represents one of the most distinctive elements of its journey across sport, culture, and belonging.


VENEZIA FC, THE TEAM VISITS THE SCUOLA GRANDE DELLA MISERICORDIA

e match between Virtus Entella and Venezia FC, valid for matchday 34 of Serie BKT and ending in a 1–1 draw, head coach Giovanni Stroppa and defender Ridgeciano Haps analyzed the game as follows.

Giovanni Stroppa, Venezia FC head coach
“

The team’s approach and attitude were perfect. We dominated the first half: we only allowed one shot on target. In the second half, we weren’t good enough at finishing our chances. Key moments went against us in an unfortunate way. We played for more than half an hour with ten men and, all things considered, we take home an important point. You always try to win games, but I don’t feel like blaming the team. There were two situations midway through the second half where we gave something away—easy chances to Entella—and then came their goal, but apart from that we played our usual game. We shouldn’t have exposed ourselves through our own mistakes, but in football it’s often the moments that decide. Now we move forward with our heads down, continuing to do our job. Credit to Entella as well: a tough and physical opponent that can cause you problems with their strengths

We knew it would be a difficult match today. We started well in the opening minutes and took the lead from a set piece off a corner. We then ended the first half coming close to making it 2–0 on several occasions. Their first shot on target came in the 48th minute. Then in the second half, after the red card, it became a different game. We go home today with a good point. Now we focus on Bari.
