Genoa Tickets

Genoa team header graphic featuring team branding and ticket information for upcoming games.
Genoa CFC, the oldest football club still active in Italy, go into the 2026-27 season as a well-established Serie A side. The 2025-26 season was anything but calm: after a difficult start under head coach Patrick Vieira and a short transitional spell with Domenico Criscito and Roberto Murgita on the bench, Daniele De Rossi took charge in October 2025 and, thanks to a very solid second half of the season, led the Grifone to a comfortable survival. The team finished 16th with 41 points in the end, with safety mathematically secured three matchdays before the season was over. The captain is Mexican centre-back Johan Vásquez, given the armband by Vieira as early as matchday one. Since December 2024, the club has been owned by Romanian businessman Dan Șucu, who took over the majority stake from the previous investor, 777 Partners. Genoa play their home matches at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, the oldest football stadium still in use in Italy, affectionately nicknamed Marassi by supporters. Book all your Genoa tickets for the 2026-2027 season securely online on Livefootballtickets.com.

    Superb! Easy to purchase a ticket. I had a live customer service chat once, the staff member was so polite, helpful and informative. I loved the communication after purchase. On the match day they contacted me on WhatsApp if I want an upgrade on my tickets for free and after my confirmation I got my tickets within a minute. Great experience, thank you.

    This is the best and most trusted website to get your tickets to any world event. I have used them 3 times throughout the years, I have used other sites for football matches and they are so transparent and fast, the first time I used them was in 2018 for a Roma match and then made the mistake to use a different site for the PSG match in April and they were terrible, from the website, customer service and responses. this is the only site I trust and use!

    Bought 2 Club Wembley tickets less than 48 hours before the Championship Play Off Final. Good communication and tickets arrived the following day by email. No problems getting into the stadium and seats were great. Unfortunately my team’s performance was the only let down. Would definitely use this company again.

    It was easier than I thought to find a group of seven seats together and very simple to book. Communication was excellent, the tickets were sent quickly and were easy to access, so no problems at the stadium. Seats were good and we had a great view. Everything worked well and I'll definitely be back for tickets again - many thanks!

Stadium information

Name:

Stadio Luigi Ferraris (Marassi)

Capacity:

approximately 33.205

Address:

Via Giovanni Bartolomeo Marsano 24, 16137 Genoa, Italy

Club:

Genoa CFC

Description:

The Stadio Luigi Ferraris opened as far back as 1911, making it the oldest football stadium still in use in Italy. It took its current name in 1933 in honour of Luigi Ferraris, a former Genoa player who died in the First World War. For the 1990 World Cup, the ground was almost entirely rebuilt, with only the historic entrance preserved, giving it its distinctive compact shape with four separate stands sitting right on the edge of the pitch. Not only its great age, also its closed design without a running track make the Stadio Luigi Ferraris one of the loudest and most intense grounds in Serie A. You will feel how close you are to the pitch the moment you take seat for the first time.

The stadium, in the Marassi district, has been shared by Genoa with local rivals Sampdoria since 1946, an arrangement that still stands today. The two clubs have discussed a possible joint takeover and modernisation of the ageing ground in recent years. This also shows just how closely the history of the two Genoese rivals is tied to this stadium. Not only in sporting terms, also architecturally, Marassi remains a place where the history of the city of Genoa continues to be written.


Best way to travel to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris

Once your Genoa tickets are booked, it’s time to work out how to reach the stadium. The Stadio Luigi Ferraris sits in the Marassi district, a few kilometres east of Genoa’s historic centre. Not only by train, also by bus, bicycle and car, you will get to the stadium without any trouble. Working out the route can be a bit of stressful the first time round, but once you’ve done it once, you get used to it quickly. Here are your options from central Genoa:

By Train

Genova Brignole station is around 20 minutes on foot from the Stadio Luigi Ferraris and is the closest main station. From there you can reach the stadium on foot along the Bisagno river, or in a few minutes by bus. Regional and long-distance trains serve Brignole several times an hour, and the city’s second main station, Genova Piazza Principe, is also well connected by public transport. Not only the good frequency, also the affordable price make the train a practical option for your trip.

By Bus

Several AMT Genova city bus lines connect the centre with the area around the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, with stops a few minutes’ walk from the main entrances. On matchdays extra services are added, not only towards the stadium before kick-off, but also back into town after the final whistle. The trip from the city centre takes only a few minutes, depending on traffic. Also on the biggest Serie A matchdays, when the ground is close to full, you will find the return buses fairly crowded right after the final whistle. Build in a bit of extra time for that.

By Bicycle

Genoa is a hilly city, but the route along the Bisagno valley from the centre out to Marassi is mostly flat and manageable in around 20 to 25 minutes. You will find bicycle racks near the stadium. Not only do you avoid all the matchday traffic this way, also the view of Genoa’s narrow old streets along the way is a genuinely nice way to approach matchday. Most fans who try it once come back to it the next time round.

By Car

Genoa is well connected via the A7, A10 and A12 motorways, which all meet at the city’s motorway junction. From the city centre, the Stadio Luigi Ferraris is only a few minutes away, sitting in the Bisagno valley in the Marassi district. Those arriving via the motorway follow signs for the city centre, then signs for the stadium. You will find paid and free parking in the areas around the ground, though space is limited on the biggest matchdays. After the final whistle, leaving the area can be a bit of stressful. Not only around the stadium itself, also on the approach roads, traffic can stay heavy for a while after a big match. Those who arrive early get a better choice of parking, and also an easier way out afterwards.


The stands at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris

The Stadio Luigi Ferraris is split into four main areas: the Gradinata Nord, the Gradinata Sud, the Distinti and the Tribuna. On Genoa home matchdays, the Gradinata Nord is the club’s own end, while away supporters are traditionally placed in a separate section of the Gradinata Sud, the very same curve where Sampdoria’s ultras stand for their own home matches. You will never get the feeling of watching from far away, whatever tier you are in, since the compact design without a running track keeps even the furthest seats close to the action. Also this is one of the reasons a matchday at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris is so special. Not only the home end, also the away section sits close enough to feel part of the game.

Gradinata Nord

The Gradinata Nord is the home end, the section where Genoa’s most loyal supporters gather behind the goal for the full 90 minutes. You will find the best atmosphere in the stadium right here, with a constant wall of noise, flags and singing whenever the Grifone play at home. It can be a bit of stressful for someone who has never experienced an Italian curva before, all that noise so close, but if you want to feel what Genoa really means to the whole city, the Gradinata Nord gives you a very special experience. A good choice if you plan to take seat only in a manner of speaking, since almost everybody around you will be standing and singing.

Gradinata Sud

On the opposite side of the pitch is the Gradinata Sud, part of which is set aside for away supporters on Genoa home matchdays. Away fans travelling to a Genoa match at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris are placed here, in a clearly separated section with its own entrance. The view from here is good, with a clear line of sight over the whole pitch and the Gradinata Nord in the distance. Not only the distance, also the angle from this section is a bit more side-on than from the side stands, so bring a good pair of binoculars if you want to follow every detail.

Distinti

The Distinti run along one side of the pitch, close to the turf with a direct view down the halfway line. From here you have one of the best sightlines in the whole ground, very close to the action and to the benches. Tickets here are among the most sought-after in the stadium, precisely because the closeness to the pitch is so exceptional. A good choice if you want to experience the match up close, with a full view of every action right in front of you. You will feel closer to the game than in almost any other stand, and that is certainly true of the Distinti.

Tribuna

Directly across from the Distinti sits the Tribuna, the main stand of the stadium, home to the boxes and hospitality areas. From here you get a very good overview of everything happening on the pitch, sheltered from the sun and the occasional rain. Tickets in the boxes are usually among the most expensive in the ground. Also this stand, thanks to its closeness to the exits, is a popular choice for families and first-time visitors. Also for a group visiting Genoa for the first time, this stand tends to be a comfortable and relaxed choice.

Which stand should you choose?

We made this table so you can compare all four areas of the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in one quick look. Check what matters most to you and you will find the right section.

Priority Best Stand Why
Best atmosphere Gradinata Nord Genoa’s own end, flags and singing, loudest part of the ground for the full 90 minutes
Best view Distinti Direct view down the halfway line, very close to the pitch and the benches
First-time visitor Tribuna Covered, good overview, easy access and exit
Families with children Tribuna lower tier Quieter than the Gradinata Nord, comfortable seating, sheltered from the weather
Budget-conscious Gradinata Nord upper tier More affordable than the main stands, still a full view of the pitch
Singing and standing Gradinata Nord Plan to stand, sing and follow the ultras for the full 90 minutes
Away fans Gradinata Sud (away section) Separate entrance, full pitch view, Gradinata Nord visible in the distance
Premium comfort Tribuna boxes Padded seating, best service in the stadium, direct access to the main stand

Club history

Genoa Cricket and Football Club was founded on 7 September 1893 at the British consulate in Genoa, making it the oldest football club still active in Italy. The club won the very first Italian championship as early as 1898 and went on to collect nine Scudetti by 1923-24, a record that for a long time made the Grifone the most successful club in the country. Not only the sheer number of titles, also the club’s sheer age still shapes the nickname “Il Vecchio Balordo”, the “grand old fool”, an affectionate name given to the club by supporters and press alike.

The 2025-26 season was far from a smooth ride for Genoa. Under head coach Patrick Vieira, the team dropped into the relegation zone after nine matchdays, before the club first responded with Roberto Murgita and Domenico Criscito as caretakers, then finally appointed Daniele De Rossi as the new head coach. De Rossi, who had already managed Genoa once before during a difficult spell, guided the Grifone, thanks to a very solid second half of the season, to mathematical safety with three matchdays still to play. A key moment was the 2-1 home win against Sassuolo on 12 April 2026, with goals from Ruslan Malinovskyi and Caleb Ekuban, a big step towards staying up. Genoa finished the season in 16th place with 41 points, and De Rossi’s contract was automatically extended to 30 June 2027.

Genoa and the city of Genoa

Genoa represents a city where football was, in the Italian context at least, literally invented, the club having imported the sport from England to the Ligurian coast. This unique position as the country’s oldest club gives every home match at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris an extra layer of history. Not only Genoa’s old town with its narrow streets, also the harbour and the coastline around Marassi are part of the visit for many away fans.

On matchdays, the streets around the Stadio Luigi Ferraris fill with supporters in rossoblu, and many fans travel specially from across Liguria to attend. Also a walk through Genoa’s historic old town with its harbour is enjoyed by many visiting fans before kick-off. If you want a relaxed afternoon before the match, plenty of supporters combine the stadium visit with a short trip down to the old port.

Famous players

Tomáš Skuhravý, the “Czech giant”, is counted among the most memorable forwards in the club’s history, scoring 58 goals in 163 matches for Genoa before joining Sporting Lisbon in 1995. Also the legendary 1992 side, which famously beat Liverpool at Anfield in the UEFA Cup, is still fondly remembered today and regularly celebrated by supporters. Not only names from the past, also captain Johan Vásquez earned his own lasting place in the club’s recent history during the difficult 2025-26 season as the team’s leader.


Genoa Honours and Titles

Genoa have won nine Italian championships, the very first in 1898, the most recent going back to the 1923-24 season. This record makes the club one of the most successful in Italian history, even though recent decades have been noticeably tougher. Also the club’s status as the oldest still active club in the country counts among the greatest achievements in its history. It is a remarkable record for a club that brought football, in its modern form, to Italy in the first place. Cheap and premium Genoa football tickets for the Serie A and Coppa Italia are available to buy now at Livefootballtickets.com.

Italian championships:

9 (including 1898, 1899, 1900, 1902, 1903, 1904, most recently 1923-24)

Recent best result:

Survival in Serie A 2025-26, 16th place with 41 points

Notable match:

2-1 home win against Sassuolo on 12 April 2026, a key step towards mathematical safety


Genoa rivalries

Main rivalry

The Derby della Lanterna against Sampdoria

The most tradition-rich rivalry in Genoa’s world is the Derby della Lanterna against local rivals Sampdoria, named after La Lanterna, the historic lighthouse that stands as a symbol of Genoa’s harbour. The two clubs have shared the same stadium, the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, since 1946, the year Sampdoria was formed from the merger of Andrea Doria and Sampierdarenese. Not only sharing a home ground, also the status of biggest club in the city on each side gives this fixture its particular edge. The first Serie A meeting took place on 3 November 1946 and ended in a 3-0 win for Sampdoria. Fully understanding this rivalry from the outside can be a bit of stressful, given how deep the feelings run on both sides of the city.

On derby days, Genoa turns into a mix of red-and-blue and blue-and-white, and supporters of both clubs literally share the same stands at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, separated only by whether they stand in the Gradinata Nord or the Gradinata Sud. Also outside Liguria, this derby is recognised as one of the most intense city rivalries in Italy, precisely because it brings together two clubs that literally play under the same roof. You will hear supporters from both sides argue for years about past editions of this fixture.

Further rivalries

Alongside the Derby della Lanterna, Genoa also has a tense relationship with several other traditional clubs from northern Italy, not least because of the long shared history in the league in the early 20th century. Also the historic rivalry with AC Milan, against whom Genoa fought for the title on several occasions during its most glorious period, is still recalled with respect by older supporters today. Not only the sporting side of things, also the symbolic weight of being Italy’s oldest club gives the rivalry with Sampdoria a special place within Italian football.


Frequently asked questions about Genoa tickets

Frequently asked questions about Genoa tickets

Genoa away tickets are usually a bit harder to find than tickets for home matches. This is due to the fact that every stadium reserves far more space for its own home fans than for Genoa supporters. We have managed to get our hands on Genoa football tickets for almost every Serie A and Coppa Italia match. Select the away match you want to attend, then look at the ticket inventory. All our away match tickets are labelled. The most used labels for Genoa’s away matches are: Genoa section, Away section, Visiting supporters section and away end. When the section label does not look like any of these, the tickets are for the home team. Not only the label, also the seating map next to it will show you exactly where in the ground you will be. Working this out on your own can be a bit of stressful, so ask our support team if you are ever unsure.
