Mirwan Suwarso predicts Serie A can reclaim elite status from Premier League

Mirwan Suwarso Predicts Serie a Recovery Against Premier League

Como 1907 President Mirwan Suwarso believes Italian football can reclaim its status as Europe’s elite competition, despite the current financial dominance of the English Premier League. Suwarso acknowledged the Italian top flight has lost ground in recent years due to a lack of top global stars, often functioning instead as a destination for veterans like Luka Modric at AC Milan. By contrast, the Premier League commands a massive television rights revenue of Rp76 trillion while featuring stars like Erling Haaland, Enzo Fernandez, Bruno Fernandes, Alexander Isak, and Morgan Rogers.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with TNT Sports commentator Adam Summerton, Suwarso pointed to historical precedent to argue that football economics run in cycles. “Waktu. “Premier League mungkin sedang berada di puncak saat ini, namun Serie A pun pernah berada di posisi tersebut.” He added that the competitive gap between last season and the current campaign in Italy is stark, fueled by a natural shift toward more attacking play and younger talent rather than intentional design.”

This optimistic outlook follows a historic European campaign for Como, including a 9-1 Champions League victory over Lens at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Como sits fourth in Serie A with 23 points under head coach Cesc Fàbregas. The club operates under SENT Entertainment, owned by Indonesia’s Hartono family since 2019, carrying a pro forma financial loss of approximately €132 million through June 2025 against group revenues of €55 million while targeting a €1 miliar valuation.

Como 1907 Expands Business Operations Across Twenty-Seven Clubs

Beyond on-field success, Como is scaling its operations by exporting proven business models to other sporting institutions. Kompas reported that Suwarso’s administration currently partners with 27 different clubs to offer specialized services and products, broadening revenue streams beyond single-club ticket and broadcast sales. “Ide-ide yang terbukti berhasil kini mulai kami ekspor untuk ditawarkan sebagai layanan atau produk kepada klub lain,” Suwarso explained to Football Italia.

The club integrates tourism, fashion, and technology around Lake Como, including the October 2024 appointment of Rhude founder Rhuigi Villaseñor as Chief Brand Officer. Several community-focused decisions by the ownership include allocating VIP seats to veteran supporters born in 1950 or earlier and protecting season ticket prices following the club’s rise from bankruptcy in Serie D.
