Giallorossi passion: Lecce has already surpassed 10,000 season tickets after two weeks.

After two weeks, yesterday afternoon, Lecce's season ticket campaign surpassed the 10,000 mark, with fans purchasing tickets. The campaign is moving rapidly toward August 8th, which will close the sales period for existing season ticket holders who intend to keep their seats by taking advantage of their pre-emption rights.

A technical break is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, and then, from Monday the 11th to Wednesday the 27th, tickets will be on general sale, including those who already have a stadium entry pass for home games but intend to change seats or sectors.

"We're proceeding at a higher subscription rate than in previous seasons," says Vice President Corrado Liguori, who has always been closely monitoring the issue. "At this rate, we could surpass the record of 21,726 season tickets purchased by our supporters in 2024/2025. Before launching the 2025/2026 season ticket campaign, we took our time to get a clear picture of the stadium's situation regarding the planned renovation and roofing work, which must be completed by August 2026. Then, with maximum transparency, we communicated every detail, and our fans are demonstrating their appreciation for our willingness to be as transparent as possible regarding the potential disruptions to some matches."

For Liguori, the important thing isn't whether or not they'll set a new record: "The key thing is that the team will once again be able to count on a large crowd, that the Via del Mare will be packed with 25,000 to 26,000 passionate fans eager to be the twelfth man. In addition to season ticket holders, last season we consistently sold between 2,000 and 7,000 tickets, averaging just over 26,000 attendances for home games. This figure, in this particular ranking, places Lecce in the top ten in Serie A."

There's another fact that makes Liguori proud: "It's the number of fans we have traveling to Lecce. Exoduses like the one we saw last May 25th in Rome, at the Stadio Olimpico, in the decisive match against Lazio, fill us with pride and are a testament to the love that binds the Salento people to Lecce. But the away stands, when we're playing, are almost always sold out, even for matches that take place on weekdays and many kilometers from our city, thanks to those who travel from the heel of Italy, but also to our fellow citizens who live away from home and who rally around us."

Liguori reiterates a point often made by president Saverio Sticchi Damiani: "Clubs like ours can only hope to achieve the desired sporting result if all parties give 110 percent. From the owners to the coaching staff, from the club's staff to the players and the fans. Italian football is now largely in the hands of very wealthy foreigners or those controlled by investment funds. There are enormous economic disparities, either due to differing spending power or because some players are in debt. This is why saving Lecce, without doing anything crazy, means achieving a sort of sporting miracle."

The vice president followed the team's work closely for several days at the Bressanone training camp: "I chose to travel from Lecce with the staff and players to convey the ownership's closeness. Within the group, I experienced a calm atmosphere and a strong desire to give my all. I noticed a great work ethic in everyone, and Di Francesco follows a very clear tactical line."

The fans' attention is focused primarily on the transfer market: "I won't comment on the transfer market decisions, which are not my responsibility. Lecce doesn't have top players on the pitch. They have them in the coaching department, and they go by the names of Corvino and Trinchera. If we've achieved the historic milestone of competing in Serie A for the fourth consecutive season, something that has never happened in nearly a century of history, it's thanks to their ability to build the team with sound and sustainable decisions. I have faith in their ability to choose the right players."
