F.C. Lugano SA is pleased to announce that the Gabbani Group will be the new Catering Partner of the AIL Arena. The exclusive contract, initially for a period of three years, entrusts the historic Lugano-based company with the management of the AIL Arena's catering services during the club's home matches, non-match-related events and all events hosted in the new home of FC Lugano.
The collaboration is the result of an in-depth selection process, initiated with the intention of identifying a partner capable of guaranteeing quality, expertise and a strong connection with the local area. In this sense, the choice of a company belonging to the Gabbani group – a historic brand in the city and one deeply rooted in the economic and social fabric of the region – reflects the club's desire to promote local excellence and further strengthen its ties with the city of Lugano, its home.
For both parties, this is a challenging and exciting venture, which aims to make the AIL Arena experience even more complete, transforming the stadium into a place of encounter, conviviality and gastronomic quality for fans, families and guests.
Martin Blaser, CEO and Vice-President of F.C. Lugano SA: For us, this step represents the conclusion of a long and careful selection process linked to the exclusive outsourcing of catering services to an external partner. From the outset, it was our intention to collaborate with a local company capable of representing the region's excellence. We are convinced that we have found the ideal partner in the Gabbani Group for a challenge that is as demanding as it is fascinating. Both parties are aware of the responsibility that this project entails and will work to ensure that all visitors to the AIL Arena feel welcome from a gastronomic point of view, both during matches and during the numerous events that will take place there.
Domenico Gabbani, Gabbani Group: We are very proud to be able to contribute to this project and to put our expertise at the service of FC Lugano. We will tackle this new challenge with the same commitment and attention to quality that has always characterised our activities. Our desire is for fans, families and friends to experience the stadium as a place of meeting and conviviality, to the point where they say: 'Let's go and see Lugano at the stadium, because the food is good there too'. Forza Lugano.
