*Home games at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium

Bologna kicks off the tournament at home against Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium, followed by two consecutive away games on English soil, including an important match against Liverpool at Anfield. The team then returns to Bologna for two home games against the French clubs Monaco and Lille.

Bologna will then travel to Portugal for two games, first against Benfica at the Estádio da Luz and later returning to Lisbon to face Sporting. Between these two challenging matches in Portugal, the Rossoblù will return home for perhaps the most eagerly awaited match against the Germans of Borussia Dortmund.

The city of Bologna is gearing up for these special evenings, ready to welcome fans from across Europe to the Renato Dall'Ara Stadium, adorning and illuminating its symbolic monuments in red and blue.

Season ticket sales for Champions' home games have already begun and will be followed by the sale of single match tickets.
