Maradona Stadium: Tickets, Visits & How to Get There

Maradona-Stadium-Naples

A match at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium offers a different way to experience Naples: blue scarves outside the ground, supporters gathering in the streets and the roar as the teams walk out. If you would like to see Napoli play during your trip, a little planning helps. Here is what to know about tickets, stadium visits and getting to Fuorigrotta, west of the city centre.

From San Paolo to Maradona Stadium

Opened in 1959, the ground became known around the world as the San Paolo. It was renovated for the 1980 European Championship and the 1990 World Cup, when its roof was added. In December 2020, it was renamed in memory of Diego Armando Maradona. Read more in SSC Napoli’s stadium history.

Can you visit Maradona Stadium without a match ticket?

Check for a specifically announced visit before travelling to the stadium. Do not assume you can turn up and buy a standard stadium tour at the entrance. Special openings have taken place, including the 2026 FAI Spring Days announced by the City of Naples, but these have their own dates and booking arrangements.

Look for current announcements from the city or SSC Napoli. Football matches, concerts and other events require the appropriate event ticket.

How to buy Napoli match tickets

Start with the official sales announcement for your match. It explains when tickets go on sale, prices and any restrictions. Check SSC Napoli’s news, then use the club’s official TicketOne ticket shop or authorised outlets listed by the club.

Booking from abroad: three steps

  1. Confirm the fixture: check the final match date and kick-off time before arranging your trip.
  2. Check eligibility: read the sales phase and any residency or other restrictions before paying.
  3. Prepare your ticket: enter each spectator’s details correctly and follow the instructions for downloading or collecting it.

Do you need a Fidelity Card?

The Fan Stadium Card is Napoli’s supporter card. A match may have sales windows for cardholders or eligible members before general sale. “Vendita libera” means general sale, but availability and match-specific restrictions still apply.

Do not buy a card automatically: first check whether your chosen sales phase requires it. Membership and the Fidelity Card are different products, and neither alone guarantees a match ticket.

Prices and seating areas

Prices depend on the fixture, seating area and sales phase. Compare the match price list with the official seating plan.

  • Curve A and B: behind the goals, for those seeking the supporter atmosphere.
  • Distinti: along the side of the pitch.
  • Tribuna Nisida and Posillipo: compare the individual seat position and price.

Also check whether your seat is in the upper or lower tier: the section name alone does not tell you what the view will be like.

How to get to Maradona Stadium

These routes show where to board and get off, rather than every intermediate stop. Keep the Italian station names handy when reading signs.

Metro Line 2 · Trenitalia

Piazza Garibaldi or Montesanto → Napoli Campi Flegrei → walk to the stadium

Take a service towards Campi Flegrei/Pozzuoli that stops at Napoli Campi Flegrei. From Napoli Centrale railway station, follow signs for Line 2 at Piazza Garibaldi.

Metro Line 6 · ANM

Municipio → towards Mostra → get off at Mostra → walk to the stadium

Useful from Piazza Municipio. The Line 6 stop is called Mostra; Napoli Campi Flegrei is the nearby Line 2 station. Check operating hours before choosing this route, especially for an evening match.

Cumana railway · EAV

Montesanto → Cumana train → Mostra–Stadio Maradona → walk to the stadium

At Montesanto, choose the Cumana, not the Circumflegrea. Check EAV service updates for timetable changes or disruptions.

Allow roughly 10–15 minutes on foot from these arrival stations as a guide. Your actual walk depends on your entrance gate, crowds and access arrangements.

Plan the return before you leave. Extra Line 2 or Cumana trains may be announced for individual fixtures; they are not automatic. Check Trenitalia, EAV and ANM’s Line 6 timetable. Your match ticket does not include public transport.

From Hotel Il Convento

Walk to Municipio for Line 6, or to Montesanto for the Cumana or Line 2, which have separate entrances. Choose according to the match time and return services. For the rest of your stay, see our Naples Metro Guide.

Match-day checklist

  • Your ticket and valid ID matching the spectator’s name.
  • Fidelity Card and seat confirmation (“segnaposto”) if the ticket is loaded onto the card.
  • The correct entrance gate: check your ticket and the stadium rules, including permitted items.
  • Extra time: allow for the walk around the ground and entry checks.

To discover another side of Diego’s legacy, visit the Maradona mural in the Spanish Quarter, near Hotel Il Convento. It is a natural addition to a football-themed day in Naples.
