“Away from you, one cannot be” It’s more than just a phrase. It is the constant thought of every Giallorosso fan when the Benelli falls silent. It’s the heartbeat when you miss that scarf around your neck, that chant starting in unison, that embrace after a goal.This claim, this sentence, tells exactly how we feel: that staying away from our stadium, from our Curva, from our colors… is simply not possible.

These special prices are designed to reward those who believed in the Giallorossi project from the very start, choosing to stand by the team throughout the past season

Phase 2 – General Sale will kick off on August 6th, and will be open to all supporters.

During this phase, several concessions will be available for women, over-65s, and those residing outside the municipality. Our goal is to ensure that passion for Ravenna continues to spread throughout the entire region

Ravenna Football Club has launched a concrete solidarity initiative by donating a selection of sportswear no longer in use, coming from both the first team and the youth sector. The aim is to support families in need in the Gaza Strip and across the country through the humanitarian network of the Red Cross and other partner organizations.

Tracksuits, match jerseys, shorts, and other sports equipment in excellent condition were collected by the club and handed over to the Italian Red Cross – Ravenna Committee ODV, which will handle the logistics and subsequent distribution on-site through its national and international channels.

The initiative stems from Ravenna FC’s desire to give unused equipment a concrete purpose, turning it into a gesture of support for those living in a state of ongoing emergency. A simple yet meaningful action that reflects the club’s commitment to solidarity and social responsibility.

“We believe that football should go beyond the pitch and also serve as a tool for civic engagement. This donation is a small gesture of concrete support for those experiencing a dramatic situation, but also a way to remind everyone how sport can help build bridges, not barriers,” said General Manager Paolo Scocco.

Also pleased with this collaboration is the President of the Italian Red Cross – Ravenna Committee ODV, Claudio Angeli:

“We are honored to have been chosen as the recipients of this generous donation. This gesture represents not only an important vote of confidence in the Red Cross but also recognition of its ongoing humanitarian commitment.

The Red Cross, as the world’s largest humanitarian organization, works daily to provide assistance, hope, and solidarity to those who need it most. We are sincerely grateful for the trust placed in us and look forward with enthusiasm to the possibility of future collaborations in service of the community.”
