🇮🇹 My FIRST FOOTBALL MATCH in ITALY! 

Where else should I visit in Italy?

glad that you're willing to give the lesser known clubs attention too. just goes to show how much you truly love the sport

The atmosphere in Italian football is just incredible

For a person that live in Monza (just a few meters from the stadium) and as a football fan, it was really cool to see this video! I also liked very much your exploration of Monza, is so cool to observe my city from the prospective of a tourist and I'm always very happy about your love of the city. Thank you for coming in this beautiful city, come back every time you want!

from a a Monza fan thank you for showing our stadium and our ultras, we are usually overshadowed by the big teams of milan so it's great to receive recognition and compliments🔥👍

Hi, at 6:06 that is The Duomo di Monza. The famous Iron Crown is kept in the Cathedral, used for centuries for the coronation of the Kings of Italy and Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire including Frederick Barbarossa and Charlemagne, which, according to tradition, contains one of the nails used for the crucifixion of Christ

Your next Italian trip should be either Palermo (the pride of Sicily with a huge fan base) or Bari, another well supported club in Serie B with promotion potential. 👌 Almost forgot about Genoa, Italy's oldest club.

Hi! The train ticket confusion is very common in Italy, so don't worry! You were moving from Milano to Monza, which is in the same region and, therefore, you needed a Trenord ticket. Trenitalia and Italo only serve the out of region destinations. Monza is not covered by the high velocity trains. I live in Vicenza and if I wanted to go to Venice on a Frecciarossa, which is a high velocity train, I could, because there is a high velocity railroad connecting Vicenza and Venice. But why would I? Regional trains are slower, but cost way less and they carry you to the same destination!

Forza Monza! Glad you had a nice experience at our stadium and our town! The atmosphere is always like that. Supporters are quite calm, although still passionate here. Very little violence and that's why I always take my son with me. You can see lots of children at the matches. Prices are fairly high I have to admit.

From Ireland went to see Inter v Porto in chp couple weeks ago, flight 58e, 1 night airbnb beside San Siro 60e & match tk 70e. Amazing atmosphere, best stadium in Italy

Great video mate - yes, Monza is the home of F1 Racing in Italy - great racetrack. In fact for most people around the world, the city is more famous for its racetrack rather than its football club

Very nice video. Italy is an amazing football experience. Regarding Monza, until last season they were the team with most seasons in Serie B without ever getting promoted to Serie A. That's changed now of course and they're having quite a good season having done the double over Juventus (1-0 home and 2-0 away).

My first Italian match was also in Monza, last season in Serie B. The day after we went to San Siro to see AC Milan. Really great atmosphere! Our trip was about the same price (NL-It by train, about €100 return for me and my 12 year old son), but the stay was a lot cheaper, in Monza it cost us €180 for 3 nights.

Hi, I'm Italian and just casually stumbled into this video and discovered your channel. I loved your enthusiasm in portraying all the details and places that caught your eyes and Monza looks really nice and unusual, less touristy and more exciting to visit for a foreigner. Also loved to see the perspective from the stadium, great job, keep up!! 🥰🤗

Love Italy 🇮🇹 for ⚽️. Unique rugged stadiums and even the smallest group of ultras create great atmospheres 📣👏 💚 ❤

Love how you show the amazing architecture and culture of the places you visit sam, top man!!!

You should definitely try to see a Genoa match in Luigi Ferraris stadium. It's the oldest team in Italy and both atmosphere and city are unreal. Thank u for your content :3

Living in Monza and seeing him be so excited for things i always see is a good feeling

Dude I live in Monza and I was there on the home stands! Actually I’m kinda proud of you visting our town. Serie A put Monza on the map probably more than F1. Glad you enjoyed hangin out here. The video is cool keep up with the great job! You earnd a subscriber

Mate you got me excited after this video, Im very glad that you come to Monza and liked our city. P.S. if you want come back you are my guest!

Forza italia! Great video

This video was actually very helpful for the Italian trains! I'm interrailing this year hopefully from Switzerland to Italy so thank you Sam for this video! An enjoyable and helpful video 😂👏

FYI Garibaldi is our national hero who nified italy in late 19th century. Fun fact, he was praised a hero in UK too where he used to have lots of fans. He then went to UK on a boat he arrived in Southampton and there were 500 thousand people

Bro I’m italian and I’m an Inter supporter. I recommend you to see Inter vs Juventus in March or in April at the Coppa Italia match. This match is known as “Derby of Italy” and the atmosphere is incredible

Doing my own Serie A adventure next weekend with games at Juventus and AC Milan. This video got me hyped for that trip!

Never mind Italy, get yourself along to East End Park on Tuesday, over 8100 tickets sold already. Dunfermline v Failkirk 1st v 2nd defiantly one not to be missed.

Love it! I visited Milan just two weeks ago to go to the San Siro for Inter v Udinese, and then instead of Monza I went to Bergamo the next day for Atalanta v Lecce. Also a fantastic city, highly recommended!

That was a great watch! As someone who lives near Monza, it's very rare to see travel content filmed here, as well as tourists in general. Despite its proximity to Milan and both well known sights and hidden gems that are worth discovering. Besides, it's great to see the club garner some international attention. The atmosphere and crowd would have been on another level for a bigger game, but so would have the prices tbh.

Great content. Something special about these smaller clubs, love it

Great video thanks, been a juve supporter since 1990 so would love to do this. Some of the newer Serie A teams have some gorgeous stadiums, like this one, Spezia, Como etc look forward to more videos

Wow!!!You are in Italy,good friend Sam?That is extremely so fantastic and I fully hope you have enjoyed your journey there,good friend!!!🏋‍♂️

Love Italy, from Rome, but Italian footy matches all together has electric atmosphere!

2.60 for a day's train journey is well cheap. It goes to show how far we are behind in our ( the UK ) travel services, especially as rail fares go up again today.

Really upping your game here Sam ✔️

Thanks for the videos! U are a such a Legend! Now U just need France, so U have done The Football Five (Germany, Italy, Spain, France and England).

Thank you for beeing in Monza and for your amazing video about the town and the match. Please come back again and come with us in Curva Davide Pieri

Bologna, Renato Dall'Ara Stadium, lovely ground! Or even Como, lovely place, even though the stadium is falling to pieces

just came across your channel and i wasn't expecting you to visit my hometown! glad you enjoyed it and forza milan (and monza) ❤

I'm sure people have told you already, but the monument in Monza you were looking at is to commemorate those who died while working and it's from 1954: it reads which means and the sweat turned into blood.

There's a football ground in Sempione Park near the Milan castle. Inter used to play there long ago. Well worth a visit if you have time!!!

Glad i found your video , actually experienced in Monza watching them play was magnificent, i went twice and enjoyed so much

If u had timed it slightly better u could have gone to see the derby in Rome that happened just last weekend. Truly amazing atmosphere. Big up from a Roma supporter:)

You should absolutely come to Genoa, and see the supporters of Genoa and Sampdoria, they are the best in Italy

Next Target - 200K. Can't wait until that...

Incredible camera work at 16:20 getting fans up close in the fore and far at the back, makes for very interesting viewing.

Very good video man! It just blew me away to hear that out of all those countries, you'd never been in Italy to watch a football match!!! However, it's never too late for most of the things we do in our lives, and in this case, it seems to me that it truly "paid off" to wait and then go to Italy, cuz it's truly not just a football nation with most passionate football supporters (by the way, the fact that this 22K capacity stadium - not 15K - isn't full, shouldn't be a huge surprise. Till that season, when you're making the video, they haven't been even close to Serie B for like half a century, and all of a sudden, in a period of 3 years, since the take over by Berlusconi, from Serie C to Serie A, from 300 ppl on average, attending a matchday, nowadays, in the season 2023/24 has skyrocketed in this period of 3 years or so, to around 14K! Don't forget that after not playing in Serie A for 50 years, the vast majority of ppl in Monza were (many, still are) supporters of either Milan, or Inter! So, it'll take them a few years more, to regroup and start filling their own stadium (for which is said, it'll be renovated) and support only Monza! Glad to have watched this video

"Watching super Monza, putting on a show", love that! 😆

Great video as always. Italy looks beautiful

Come to Florence to see Fiorentina.... Magnificent city, incredible food and beatiful atmosphere for a city who love the team 💜. Forza Viola

Yet ANOTHER top class video! I’m thinking on travelling around the world to see different football matches but I have no experience whatsoever of going abroad. Do you do all your trips solo? I don’t know anyone who would be willing to go around the world watching matches so I would have to do it myself. Just curious to see if that’s what you do?

Big pleasure watching your video, and to see you appreciating our city and stadium atmosphere. Next time you are welcome to come for the formula 1 race!

Ancona also has a huge ultras support, I believe they're in Serie C but they've been twice in Serie A, and once got to the final of Coppa Italia but lost against Sampdoria with the legendary Vialli and Mancini...

Great video Sam, looking forward to more videos coming soon

Monza are playing Serie A calcio for the 1st time in their history. It is more than laudable what they are doing and beat some big teams including Juventus. I like them.

Very nice video from Italy 💚🤍❤! You were finally there. Hopefully not for the last time. A video from Naples would be nice - everything about the Mythso Maradona. Which laptop do you use to edit your videos on the go?

Hi Sam, so glad you finally made it to Italy to watch and vlog a football match. Looking forward to your vlogs on Inter and Milan.

Hi Sam, Follow the best italian supporters : the Genoa cfc the oldest italian club born in 1893. The Genoa's fans are always colored and happy .Number 1 in italy for atmosphery and passion . Here the Genoa is a religion and the stadium is called "temple" ( Attention. this year the Genoa play only in serie B but for the redblue fans isn't problem ! )

I just found your channel. I was at monza lazio 4 weeks after this video. Amazing weekend. Did inter on the satcand monza on the Sunday. Flight return from Dublin, 2 nights hotel in Milan and match tickets cost 250 quid

Very enjoyable. An idea for when the main Euro leagues finish perhaps try Sweden a trip to Gothenburg which is a nice city with 4 teams would be interesting.

You have to go to Cesena, the best fans in The Serie C, I promise you, maybe it's not like a Serie A match but also the stadium it's wonderful

“You look like an actor from modern family” 😂😂 I’m litterly crying from laughter 🤣🤣 I mean I don’t think so but I understand why she says it 😂

5:57 that orange is actually the school i go to. Really hope you enjoyed your stay❤

'Interesting' choice, Monza...! My Italian team is Torino, so I'd recommend going there. The club has a fascinating history. On my bucket list to visit are Roma, Genoa, Livorno and Salernitana.

thanks for all the beautiful speachees about Monza ❤❤❤

Are you still in Milan today? :) Great video we went to the Atalanta game yesterday

Fun fact: Monza is now own by the former A.C. Milan owner, the one who has made this team one of the most winning team of all time.

Lecce, you will come in Lecce. South East Italy. The atmosfere is incredible !

Another good video mate, you looked the part with the sunglasses in the thumbnail 😁all the best 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Great video I really enjoy them 💪 the small clubs are good to football and I love the old stadiums. Keep doing videos respect to you from Denmark 😉🇩🇰

AC Milan matches definitely have a better atmosphere than Inter Milan ones, I recommend them

The "cog" monument near the station is actually dedicated to work related fatalities. Did you actually walk from the train station to the park and then all the way to the stadium? That's a good 7-8 km trek.

2:24 Garibaldi is an important part of the italian reunification just so you know.

I am actually from Monza! great video

You were looking for Monza on a High Speed-only railway company totem 😆 To reach non-high speed train stations, always use the TRENITALIA vending machines/ticket offices. Come back soon, bloke 🙌

Your first match in IT with Monza first time in history of SerieA. Eureka. C"mon Monza 🇵🇪

You're right that taking a ticket at Garibaldi station at the automatic machines without knowing anything about the train system is almost impossible. Monza is quite a nice medium-size city, major problem is air pollution. Race track is right in the park. Both Monza and Empoli are doing quite well this year. You chose a good mid-table match to watch. If Berlusconi puts some money in Monza, I would not be so surprised to see Monza in Conference or Europa League within 3-5 years. For the city and the atmosphere, I'd go either to Roma or Napoli, if you have to choose only one game

Brilliant video. Thinking of getting out there myself now. I wonder if they would get pissed at me hanging a Millwall flag out over the terrace?? 😆😆

I suggest you go see some AS Roma games, the atmosphere is great, and obviously visit Roma.

This so cool Nice video I really enjoy these

3:29 absolutely howled at that! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hele leuke vlog 👍 groedjes familie maijers 👍

l love Italy but have never been to Milan since a child l have had favourite clubs in lots of countries in ltaly its Venezia FC seen the ground but that's all, Anyway great post and love the way you show historic parts parts of Monza , Ypu must be tired after that walking but good on you ,very interesting. By the way enjoy the warmth it's freezing here in North Yorkshire

You forgot to mention the most important thing: Monza is owned by Senator Silvio Berlusconi! Amazing video

It’s fun to watch you “welcomed” by the Italian train ticket system🤣 btw the red ticket machine is for the bullet train!

Next time Juventus! But the stadium is really more expensive than the others. For example If you want to go to see Roma FC the price of tickets are very cheap. But for this find ticket to see Roma is very hard. Sorry for the bad English, i’m Italian. Good video!

Fantastic video, you should watch a Genoa's match in the evening. Even if we play in Serie B we have incredibile fans

You can bet Monza's area's affluent, it's one of the wealthiest cities in the whole Italy

You need to visit Lecce, via del Mare stadium, 20k annual membership this season..the atmosphere and the support from the curva is just unbelievable

YES FOOTY ADVENTS! Next time San Siro…

First video of yours I’ve watched and really enjoyed it!! If you are ever in Canada there are both clubs big and small that would be fun to see you explore ❤️⚽️ cheers

Come to see Sampdoria, an incredible love despite an incredible bad situation 💙🤍❤️🖤🤍💙

Great vid! The guy out of modern family who you look like is mitchell!😁

Loved seeing the floating empty can of Tennents Super Lager. It reminded me of seeing them in bottles in a wee shop just outside of Rome. Who needs Peroni !

Videos are brilliant mate. One of the best about

You will go to see AC Milan, they have one of the best fun of the Europe

Really enjoyed the video as a regular visitor over about the last 15years as my partners family live in the Milan. If possible always like to take in a game from the top games in serie A right down to serie D and over the years found a few gems in terms of grounds and cities. Took in Monza about 5 years ago when they were in Serie C for a strange midweek afternoon cup game against Imolese where the crowd was less than 1000. Since then helped by Silvio Berlusconis money they have moved up to be mid table in Serie A. If you have a chance to return Como(Serie B) Cremonese(Serie A) Brescia(Serie B) Lecco(Serie C) and Pro Vercelli(Serie D) are all easy trips from Milan and worth a visit in terms of grounds and cities they are based. Looking forward to your video on San Siro as was there a few weeks back to see Milan v Torino.....Owing to Italian bureaucracy think it may be a few more years before its demise.

Wow man that's amazing! I was actually there with my friends who support empoli. Being so close to ultras was great. Great vid btw

In italy you can buy train tickets on line, it is much easier...otherwise you should know train companies, for ex. you'll never find a ticket to monza with Italo 😉

Welcome to Italy. We trust you enjoyed your first Serie A experience. Monza is spectacular but wait until you get to the lower leagues for Parma, Bari, Genoa, Calabria and Palermo!

A slight correction: Silverstone is the Monza for UK. 😃
