Source summary
WikipediaSocietà Sportiva Calcio Napoli (pronounced [sotʃeˈta sporˈtiːva ˈkaltʃo ˈnaːpoli]), commonly known as SSC Napoli or simply Napoli, is an Italian professional football club based in Naples, Campania, that plays in Serie A, the top league of Italian football. They are among the most successful clubs in the nation, with four league titles, six Coppe Italia, three Supercoppe Italiane, and one UEFA Cup.
The club was formed in 1926 as Associazione Calcio Napoli following the merger of US Internazionale Napoli and Naples Foot-Ball Club. Napoli saw relatively little success in their early years, not winning their first major trophy until the 1962 Coppa Italia. The club enjoyed increased success in the 1970s and 1980s, winning the 1976 Coppa Italia and reaching new heights following the arrival of Diego Maradona in 1984. During his time with Napoli, the club won their first two league titles, in 1987 and 1990. His seven seasons in Naples also saw them win the 1987 Coppa Italia, the 1990 Supercoppa Italiana, and the 1989 UEFA Cup—their only European trophy. Following Maradona's departure in 1991 however, Napoli struggled financially, and endured relegations and a bankruptcy prior to being re-founded in 2004 by film producer Aurelio De Laurentiis. Napoli returned to Serie A three years later, and have been among the top clubs in Italian football since, winning three Coppa Italia (2012, 2014, and 2020), two Supercoppa Italiana (2014 and 2025–26), and two Serie A titles (2023 and 2025).
