SSC Napoli Tickets

SSC Napoli Info

The south of Italy is perceived as the poorer part of the country, and traditionally football titles have gone to the trophy cabinets of northern teams. However, S.S.C. Napoli is a football bastion in the south that prefers to complicate things for big Italian football clubs.

The team experienced a renaissance in the 1980s after Diego Maradona joined the squad. The Argentinian footballing legend worked his magic and brought the team two Scudettos in the 1986–87 and 1989–90 seasons. With the legendary number 10 on the roster, Napoli won its only European title triumphing in the 1988–89 UEFA Cup competition.

Although the glory days are connected to Maradona, the club has enjoyed modest success before and after the era of the Argentinian. They added their third Scudetto in the 2022/23 season and have racked up six Italian Cup titles and two Supercopa trophies in total. They also won the no longer active European Intertoto Cup in 2008.

Napoli plays its home matches at Stadio San Paolo (renamed to Diego Armando Maradona Stadium). With a capacity of 54,726 spectators, the venue has the third-largest attendance average in Italian Serie A. Considering the interest for SSC Napoli matches, it's crucial to be proactive, and you can buy SSC Napoli tickets with SeatPick.

About SSC Napoli Football Tickets

The first Neapolitan football club traces its origin to an English sailor William Poths, who in 1905 established the Naples Foot-Ball & Cricket Club. The chosen club colours were blue and black, which are still the trademark colours of Napoli SSC.

After the original founding, several local mergers with smaller clubs were initiated. Followed by the rebranding of the name that finally evolved into Societa Sportiva Calcio Napoli. However, the financial troubles that plagued the club didn’t subside, and in 2004 the company that owned Napoli filed for bankruptcy.

This crisis got resolved after film producer Aurelio De Laurentiis settled the bills and re-established the club as Napoli Soccer. They had to migrate to Serie C, but quickly rebounded and are now a contender not just in Serie A, but also on the European stage.

Visiting Stadio San Paolo for a football match, you will see true SSC Napoli fans waving the azure blue colours and singing SSC Napoli chants. Watch Napoli home games live and find the best ticket prices by making a purchase online at SeatPick.

Major Rivalry

It wouldn't be a mistake to say that Napoli has a rivalry with every other team in Serie A. In the past, the team was ridiculed by vicious Italian football fans of opposing teams. But the most intense rivalry is with Juventus. It's also a symbolic representation of the tensions that exist between the northern and southern parts of Italy.

Top Managers

However, some notable managers have accepted the invitation to lead the Blues. Fans had big expectations when Carlo Ancelotti arrived in town in 2018 to replace Maurizio Sarri. However, he only lasted 18 months in the job. Previously, Rafael Benitez had the opportunity from 2013 until 2015, with one notable Champions League foray. Marcello Lippi and Claudio Ranieri were also constructing strategies for Napoli in the early 90s.
