What to know before you follow them

Napoli's support is loud, local, and emotional. When the team is flying the city stops; when it is not, the mood turns quickly.

What people sing

  • 'O surdato 'nnammurato

    A Neapolitan classic the crowd owns on big nights. You do not need perfect Italian to feel what it is doing.

  • Un giorno all'improvviso

    The modern chant that spread during title runs. Short, loud, and everywhere in the city when results are good.

Who the rivals are

  • Roma and Lazio

    North-south tension dressed as football. Napoli trips to Rome are rarely quiet.

  • Juventus

    A rivalry sharpened by titles, refereeing arguments, and geography.

Following them from America

Grew sharply around the recent title, and stays warm in cities with strong southern Italian communities.

The squad

13 players. 4 played at the 2026 World Cup.
