Lore & Background
The group is known for its passionate support at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (formerly Stadio San Paolo), where Napoli has played since 1959. Napoli's most successful era came after the arrival of Diego Maradona in 1984, during which the club won its first two league titles (1987 and 1990), the 1987 Coppa Italia, the 1990 Supercoppa Italiana, and the 1989 UEFA Cup. After Maradona's departure in 1991, Napoli struggled financially and endured relegations and bankruptcy before being re-founded in 2004 by Aurelio De Laurentiis. The club returned to Serie A three years later and has since won three Coppa Italia (2012, 2014, 2020), two Supercoppe Italiane (2014, 2025–26), and two Serie A titles (2023, 2025).
