Naples and the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona are inseparable from the player who gave the ground its name, in the Fuorigrotta district west of the centre.
Getting around
Transport in Naples
- Naples Metro — line 6 to Mostra, serving the exhibition centre next to the stadium.
- Cumana suburban line — stops at Mostra, right by the ground, from the city centre.
- Line 2 — Campi Flegrei is about a fifteen-minute walk from the stadium.
Planning
A football weekend in Naples
One ground in this guide, and one of the most intense atmospheres in Europe. Naples works as a weekend around a single match, with the historic centre filling the rest of the time.
Whichever ground you choose, the pattern of the day is the same: travel in with the crowd, arrive at the turnstiles about an hour before kick-off, and leave the return journey until the first surge has cleared. In Naples that advice matters most at the nearest station to the ground, where the queue builds within minutes of the final whistle.
