Ravenna FC is ready to embrace its city. Tonight, Tuesday, August 19, at 8:45 PM in Piazza del Popolo, the official presentation of the first team for the 2025/26 Serie C season will take place.

It will be a moment of great connection with the Giallorossi fans, who will have the chance to meet the coaching staff and players up close, applaud the new faces, and support those who will continue wearing the Byzantine colors. The event will also be the perfect opportunity to let the team feel the city’s warmth ahead of the league opener and following their winning debut in the Coppa Italia.

During the evening, the new match kits—symbols of Ravenna’s identity and passion—will be unveiled for the first time, and fans will have the opportunity to subscribe to season tickets or purchase tickets for Saturday’s match against Campobasso.

An event that brings together sport and community, marking the start of a new journey in the professional ranks for everyone together.

If the match is tied at the end of regular time, qualification will be decided directly by a penalty shootout.

The team coached by Marco Marchionni is eagerly awaited by the Ravenna supporters, who are excited to see their team competing again in a national competition. After convincing performances in the preseason—particularly the friendly match against Virtus Verona, which showed an aggressive team in control of the game—the goal will be to confirm the same determination in an official match. Forward Luciani will be absent due to a minor muscle injury.

Facing them will be a top-level opponent: AS Cittadella, coached by Manuel Iori, coming off their most recent season in Serie B. A squad full of quality players, with the clear ambition of aiming for an immediate return to the second division.

Ravenna FC will be able to count on the support of its fans and will aim to make the most of the home advantage.
There is great anticipation in the stands, with advance ticket purchase strongly recommended to avoid queues.
Tomorrow the ticket offices will open from 4:30 PM, with an additional special opening in the morning (10:00 AM – 12:00 PM) at the ticket office in Piazza Sighinolfi.

The match will also be broadcast on a pay-per-view basis on the platforms Sky Italia and NOW TV.

Born in 2005, Menegazzo is a modern midfielder, capable of combining intensity with vision of play. Having grown entirely within the Rossoblù youth sector, he completed the full developmental path, demonstrating technical skills and personality that have allowed him to be considered ready for the step up to the senior level.

The move to Ravenna represents his first experience with a first team, an opportunity to gain experience and continue his growth in professional football.

The club wishes Lorenzo the best of luck for a season full of achievements.

Ravenna FC is pleased to announce the confirmation of Abdel Zagre, a forward born in 2004, who has signed a two-year contract, continuing his experience with the Giallorossa.

Arriving last season, Zagre stood out for his speed, physicality, and ability to keep opposing defenses busy. His skills and young age make him a highly promising player, perfectly integrated into coach Marco Marchionni’s technical project.

Best of luck to Abdel Zagre for the challenges ahead with the Giallorossa jersey.
