SSC Napoli

SSC Napoli is a storied Italian football club based in Naples that competes in Serie A, ranking among the nation's most successful teams with four league titles, six Coppe Italia, three Supercoppe Italiane, and a UEFA Cup. Officially founded in 1926 from a merger of two rival clubs (though tracing roots to 1905), Napoli won its first major trophy in 1962, but the arrival of Diego Maradona in 1984 sparked a golden era, delivering the club's first two Serie A titles (1987 and 1990), a 1987 Coppa Italia, and the 1989 UEFA Cup—their only European trophy. Following Maradona's departure, the club fell into financial turmoil, enduring relegations and bankruptcy before being re-founded in 2004 by film producer Aurelio De Laurentiis and returning to Serie A in 2007. Since then, they have enjoyed a modern renaissance, securing additional Coppe Italia (2012, 2014, 2020), Supercoppe (2014, 2025-26), and recent Serie A titles in 2023 and 2025. Playing at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (renamed in 2020) and wearing their iconic sky blue kits, the club boasts the fourth-largest fan base in Italy and was valued at $379 million by Forbes in 2018, cementing its status as a major force in Italian football.
