Parma, 22 May 2026 – With one match left to play, at home to Sassuolo, Parma Calcio can look back on a 2025/26 season marked by enthusiasm, engagement and an increasingly international outlook. Ticketing data confirms the growth of the Gialloblu fanbase and paints a picture of a support that is constantly evolving while remaining deeply connected to our colours. It reaffirms the Stadio Ennio Tardini as a modern, inclusive meeting place, capable of welcoming supporters from all over the world and perfectly reflecting the club’s ‘One Planet, One Club’ philosophy. The season ticket campaign, “Dal vivo è un’altra cosa” (“It’s Different Live”), also achieved a historic milestone for the Club, with 13,330 season ticket holders. Meanwhile, Parma Calcio Women also achieved record attendances following their return to Serie A, with a 13.4% increase on the previous season.

MEN’S FIRST TEAM: TARDINI ATTENDANCE REVIEW

The response to Men’s First Team matches at the Tardini has been remarkably consistent throughout the season. “L’Ennio” – to use the traditional Parmigiano expression – has welcomed a total of 337,715 spectators, with an impressive average attendance of 18,762 per match, a figure that places the Club among those with the highest levels of support and engagement. A breakdown of the audience highlights a diverse and inclusive crowd, with a strong presence of families and younger fans. In total, there have been 54,683 female spectators, 239,948 male spectators and 28,440 Under-14 attendees.

A Gialloblu hemisphere: the success of ‘One Planet, One Club’

This season, the global manifesto “One Planet, One Club” – created to celebrate inclusion, cultural diversity and the special connection between Parma’s historic roots and the rest of the world – has found its fullest expression in the stands. Throughout the year, the Tardini has welcomed supporters from almost 90 different nationalities (88 to be precise), a remarkable figure that underlines the global appeal of the team and the city.

Germany leads the international ranking with 471 entries, followed by the United Kingdom (305) and Switzerland (245). There are also significant figures from outside Europe, with the United States leading the way (196). In Europe, France (175) and Poland (151) also stand out, while further afield there are contributions from countries as distant as Australia (92) and Japan (57).

Away support

It has not only been at the Tardini that Gialloblu passion has produced record numbers, with the team also enjoying outstanding away followings throughout the season. The highest attendance was recorded in Cremona (2,366) and in Reggio Emilia against Sassuolo (2,150). On the opening matchday at the Allianz Stadium against Juventus, the away section was sold out, reaching its full capacity of 1,016 supporters.

Two particularly significant away fixtures on the road to securing safety were in Verona and Lecce, both ending in 2–1 victories and both played on Sunday lunchtime. In Verona, 1,240 Gialloblu fans were present, while 240 made the trip to Salento. Although the latter figure may appear modest, it represents a record turnout for this fixture, underlining the commitment shown by supporters even in the most distant away matches.

PARMA CALCIO WOMEN: STRONG GROWTH IN SERIE A

The Women’s First Team enjoyed a clear step forward this season, not only on the pitch following promotion to the top flight and the achievement of their target of survival, but also in terms of matchday atmosphere and fan support. Total seasonal attendance rose from 6,389 in Serie B 2024/25 to 7,246 across the 2025/26 campaign. Looking at the 13 competitive fixtures in total (eleven Serie A matches, one Women’s Cup game and one Coppa Italia tie), average attendance stood at 557 per match, marking a significant increase on the previous season’s average of 400.

A key factor in this growth was the strong season opener at the Stadio Ennio Tardini against Juventus on 22 August in the Serie A Women’s Cup, which drew over 2,000 spectators, followed by the second fixture at the Tardini on 21 December against Lazio in the Coppa Italia. The eleven home league matches, played at the Stadio Il Noce in Noceto, also showed steady progress, with average attendance rising to 427 and stadium occupancy exceeding 53.3%. Thanks to data collected through the Fan4Win initiative, the Club was able to build a profile of Parma Calcio Women supporters: a fanbase with a highly balanced gender split (more so than the men’s team) and a highly localised catchment area, with supporters travelling not only from Noceto but in large part from the city of Parma and numerous towns across the wider province.

“The excellent results recorded at the Stadio Ennio Tardini and the Stadio Il Noce confirm the strength of the bond between the Club and the local community: Parma and its entire province continue to represent the beating heart of our passion. At the same time, we are seeing steady growth in interest from supporters across Italy and abroad, a sign of an identity that is increasingly recognisable and attractive on an international level. The Tardini and Il Noce are our home, but above all they are where our supporters, match after match, help create a special atmosphere that represents a key pillar for both the men’s and women’s teams. For this reason, we would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported us throughout the season. In the coming days, we will present the new season ticket campaign, designed to reward those who continue to proudly pass on the tradition and love for Parma. An authentic bond that endures through time without losing strength, and which makes us deeply proud and grateful,” said Danilo Sciò, the Club’s Chief Revenue Officer.

The final match of the season against Sassuolo at the Stadio Ennio Tardini offers the opportunity to further improve these outstanding figures. Supporters will also be able to say farewell to and celebrate Carlos Cuesta’s team, who secured their target of survival with four matches to spare.
