Napoli

Some of the greatest, most memorable chapters in the annals of modern football history have been written by Napoli, Italy's most alluring club.

From Maradona to Insigne and Careca to Osimhen, the past 40 years have been nothing short of a rollercoaster of emotions in Napoli - but the journey started much earlier. We begin with William Poths, the founding father of football in the city, and the birth of what we now know as SSC Napoli. Where did the unrelenting passion for calcio begin?
