Venice, March 24, 2026 – Venezia FC continues to expand its retail footprint with the opening of a new official temporary store at Venice Marco Polo Airport, located in the departures area. With this launch, the Club now operates five retail locations, including stores in Rialto, Campo Santi Apostoli, and Venezia Santa Lucia railway station in the historic city center, as well as the Ca’ Venezia headquarters in Mestre, in addition to its e-commerce platform.

“This new store represents a further step in the ongoing positioning of our brand,”

 said Tancredi Vitale, Managing Director of Venezia FC. 

“Being present in one of the city’s main transit hubs allows us to further strengthen the Club’s visibility and identity—at the intersection of sport, contemporary aesthetics, and a deep connection to Venice and its territory—while offering an increasingly accessible and consistent experience aligned with our values to both local and international audiences.”

“Following the recent opening at Venezia Santa Lucia station, the choice of Marco Polo Airport holds particular strategic relevance within the Club’s retail development plan,”

 added Romano Cinelli, Head of Commerce at Venezia FC. 

“The temporary store format is especially effective, as it enables us to activate high-traffic locations with a flexible approach aligned with our commercial growth objectives.”

The store is located on the second floor of the terminal, just before the international check-in area. It is open daily from 6:30 AM to 7:30 PM and offers a curated selection of the Club’s most representative apparel and accessories, designed to appeal to a broad, cosmopolitan audience through a streamlined retail concept consistent with the brand’s aesthetic and values.

Venezia FC Women were defeated at home by Como at the end of a hard-fought match that the Leonesse interpreted well for the full 90 minutes.

The team coached by Luis Oliveira started with confidence, managing to keep up with the high tempo set by the visitors and controlling possession in an organized way. The first chance came in the 13th minute when, from a corner taken by Doneda, Willis was unable to find the decisive touch in the box. However, it was only a warning sign before the opener: in the 15th minute it was Willis herself who broke the deadlock, taking advantage of a ball recovery in the opposition half and putting Venezia ahead. The orange-black-green side continued to defend carefully, conceding very little space to Como. The visitors tried to threaten with long-range shots, but Pucova was alert and kept the lead intact until halftime. The first half ended 1–0, with Venezia well-organized and effective in managing the game.

In the second half, Como pushed even higher and found the equalizer in the 60th minute, when Picchi got a touch ahead of Pucova to restore parity. Venezia tried to react, but the visitors kept pressing and completed the comeback in the 71st minute with Moraca, who finished well after an attack developed down the right wing. The Leonesse never stopped fighting and also tried to threaten on the counterattack, while Pucova produced a great save on Giacinti to prevent the third goal. However, in the closing stages Como sealed the match: in the 90th minute Gelmetti caught the Venezia defense off guard with a long-range shot, making it 1–3. Despite the result, it was still a positive performance from Venezia, who managed to compete with the league leaders, showing organization, fighting spirit and good attacking play.

At the end of the match between Monza and Venezia FC, valid for matchday 32 of Serie BKT and ending in a 1–1 draw, head coach Giovanni Stroppa and midfielder Gianluca Busio analyzed the game as follows.

Giovanni Stroppa, Venezia FC head coach
“

I expected Monza to play like this. A draw is the fairest result because there weren’t many big chances for either side. It seemed like a balanced match to me. Today we took home an important result against a well-equipped team, and we keep moving forward on our path. I was pleased to come back and play in this stadium, and I’m glad to see Monza second in the standings. However, I hope Venezia stays where it is now until the end. Today we had a few situations where we broke through but lacked precision, yet overall the two teams matched each other

Gianluca Busio, Venezia FC midfielder
“

We knew today would be a difficult match—it felt like a Serie A clash. Both teams are capable of playing good football, and today the sides were evenly matched, resulting in a draw. For me personally, it was also a tough game; I was up against a very strong midfield and tried to win as many duels as possible. It was great to play in a match like this, and the draw is a fair result. Both we and Monza have what it takes to do well in this league, and we hope to keep this momentum going. Which midfielder do I look up to? Andrea Pirlo—since I was a child I’ve watched his matches, and he’s definitely a player I greatly admire
