Roberto Piccoli and Nadir Zortea are heading to the Bologna FC Store Stadio today, and fans need to register to attend. The club announced the visit on Thursday, with registration opening now via Instagram.
The duo will appear at the store from 17:00 to 18:00 CEST, giving Bologna supporters a chance to see the players up close. The catch: there are only 80 seats available, and they go to whoever registers first.
Registering for the Meet & Greet
To attend, fans must sign up through a link that will be posted on the club’s Instagram profile at 12:00 CEST today. That means the window is short — just a few hours between the announcement and the start of registration. Fans should mark their calendars now, because the slots will fill quickly.
Once registered, each fan receives a QR code that grants access to the event. The code is personal, so sharing it with friends won’t work. Each QR code is valid for one person only, and the club is strict about it. Fans who try to sneak in with a friend’s code will find the system won’t let them in.
The club has set a cap to keep things running smoothly. With a limited number of spots, the organisers want to avoid queues of fans waiting outside without a chance to meet the players. Arriving early is strongly advised, since high demand and limited time mean spaces fill fast.
What Fans Can Ask For
The club has laid out the rules for the meet and greet. Fans can only request autographs on official Bologna FC 1909 merchandise. That means no blank items or random requests — everything must carry the club’s mark. The club wants to ensure every autograph requested follows its branding guidelines.
The store will also be running sales during the event, though access will be limited. Staff will manage purchases to keep things moving.
The Timeline Today
| Time | Event |
|---|---|
| 12:00 CEST | Registration link opens on Instagram |
| 17:00–18:00 CEST | Piccoli and Zortea at the Bologna FC Store Stadio |
What Happens Without a Code
The club has made one thing clear: fans arriving without registering will not be let into the area reserved for the meet and greet. That rule applies to everyone, and there is no exception listed. Even regular customers who think they’re owed special treatment won’t get in without a code.
That means showing up at the store without a QR code is pointless. The club is serious about keeping the numbers down, and unregistered fans will be turned away at the door.
How to Attend
- Open the Instagram profile at 12:00 CEST today.
- Click the registration link.
- Complete the sign-up form.
- Save the QR code that grants access to the event.
Each step must be completed before the event starts. Missing the registration window means missing the chance to attend. Fans should treat this like any other timed online sale — have your device ready, your fingers ready, and your patience ready for a possible scramble.
The Bottom Line
This is a simple event with a clear deadline. Fans who want to see Piccoli and Zortea need to register now.
The registration link opens at 12:00 CEST today, and spots will disappear quickly. Anyone hoping to meet the players should set a reminder, open the Instagram profile at the right time, and click through before the window closes.
Bologna has made the process straightforward, and the club’s message is consistent throughout: register, get the code, show up on time. Follow those steps, and the meet and greet is yours.
