Napoli's historic decision

Napoli are set to embark on a historic change: leaving the Diego Armando Maradona stadium to build a brand new one.

Napoli are likely to leave Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

In an official statement, Napoli said a meeting was held with UEFA, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) and the Naples city government to assess the current state of the stadium. The results were not very positive. UEFA confirmed that the Maradona Stadium did not meet infrastructure requirements and recommended that the club find a radical solution.

President Aurelio De Laurentiis admitted that all efforts to research and plan renovations over the past two years have come to a dead end. “Even with huge investments, the current structure cannot meet the standards of a modern football stadium,” Napoli said in a statement.

Instead of continuing to “patch up” Maradona Stadium, the club decided to invest in building a new stadium from scratch. This will be a project capable of hosting Euro 2032 matches, and at the same time become a new symbol of the city of Naples.

According to initial disclosure, a large unexploited land in the city was chosen as the construction site. This project not only serves football ambitions but also contributes to improving infrastructure and urban appearance.

Leaving Diego Armando Maradona Stadium - a place associated with many golden memories - certainly leaves many regrets. However, this is an inevitable step if Napoli wants to catch up with the top European football standards and affirm its position on the world football map.

This event promises to open a new era for Napoli: a modern stadium, of international stature and can become the "home" of top football matches in the future.
