Context
Napoli, one of Serie A's top clubs, is looking to build a new proprietary stadium to ensure a sustainable and competitive future. This project, together with the redevelopment of Maradona, represents a long-term strategy to strengthen the club's presence in Italian and international football.
Why it matters
The redevelopment of the Diego Armando Maradona stadium is a fundamental step for Naples, not only to improve the fan experience, but also to position the city as one of the venues for Euro 2032. This €200 million investment represents a significant commitment by the local authorities to modernize sports infrastructure, a crucial aspect for a Serie A club like Napoli.

The Municipality of Naples has launched a significant project for the redevelopment of the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, in view of the important Euro 2032 event. This development represents a crucial step in
These two projects, although following different paths, share a common objective: to provide Naples with a cutting-edge sports facility. The redevelopment plan for the Maradona stadium, already approved by the City Council and the Services Conference, will involve a total investment of 200 million euros, with 150 million coming from the Campania Region and 50 million from the Municipality. The renovation aims to increase the capacity of the stadium to 60 thousand seats, thanks to the restoration of the third tier and the removal of the athletics track, which will allow the stands to be brought closer to the pitch.
In addition to structural improvements, the project includes the installation of new skyboxes, initiatives for environmental sustainability with photovoltaic systems, an increase in seats reserved for people with disabilities and the creation of the "Passeggiata Azzurra", a path dedicated to the great protagonists of the club's history. The goal is to obtain recognition of Naples as one of the five Italian locations for Euro 2032 by October.
At the same time, Napoli, led by president Aurelio De Laurentiis, has decided not to invest further in Maradona, instead focusing on the construction of the new stadium, which will have a capacity of around 70 thousand seats. The reclamation operations of the former Q8 Refinery area are scheduled to be completed between the end of 2027 and the beginning of 2028, and CEO Andrea Chiavelli has already confirmed the existence of a letter of intent with Q8 Italia. It is expected that the project will be officially presented during the club's Centenary celebrations.
With these two initiatives underway, Naples could soon boast two high-level structures, ready to meet the needs of an increasingly competitive football and on par with the great European realities.
What happens now
With the redevelopment project already approved, the Municipality of Naples is preparing to formally present the candidacy for Euro 2032 to the FIGC and UEFA. In parallel, Napoli will continue to work on the project of their new stadium, which could further transform the city's football landscape and improve the opportunities for the club in the context of Serie A.
