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? To know Napoli, you must know this.
Between the legends, the villains, the inferno of the fall to Serie C post-Maradona, and the Di Laurentiis rebirth after, we've covered all the stories that matter, putting together our best club issue yet. If you like football, you'll like this. And we end with a stunning long-form piece covering the glory of 2022/23.
Behind that stunning Gomorrah-inspired cover, you'll find features on the following:
- The birth of football in Napoli
-
José Altafini
- Diego Maradona
- More than one: Maradona's incredible support acts
- The eternal highs of the 1980s

If you're ordering from outside the UK, please review our shipping policy below.
Order now to avoid missing out: every other issue has sold out prior to release and once they're gone, they're gone.
Projected dispatch: 30 November
As a result of staff shortages and process changes following Brexit, deliveries outside of the UK are taking longer than usual to land, particularly to the EU and North America. This is compounded by the ongoing Royal Mail strikes.
Note that on an untracked service, only around 70-75% of magazines land outside of the UK. We still offer this service as it keeps costs down, but These Football Times do not take liability for packages that are not delivered on this service as it's impossible for us to trace it. All mailing companies refuse to help in such a scenario. For peace of mind, we recommend purchasing tracked mailing for your magazine if it's going outside the UK. It may cost more but you have a guarantee that it'll arrive.
For EU customers: you may now be liable to pay import duties if you have ordered on an untracked service. If you are awaiting a package, the local customs agents may request payment before they release it. They will usually contact you via email or phone but sometimes need to be proactively reached out to in advance to find out if there is a duty to be paid. These Football Times take no liability for delays caused by this process as it is entirely beyond our control.
Please review up-to-date timeframes for delivery following dispatch below:
UK Untracked (2-5 business days)
UK Tracked (1-3 business days)
International Untracked (12-60 business days)
International Tracked (5-21 business days)
- All untracked deliveries in the UK are sent via Royal Mail Second Class post, which should land within five business days after dispatch.
- All tracked deliveries in the UK are sent via Royal Mail First Class post, which should land within three business days after dispatch.
- International untracked deliveries are sent via International Second, which is a non-traceable service that can take up to 60 days in cases, though usually lands sooner. The reason we choose an untracked service is to keep the shipping costs as low as possible. These Football Times do not take liability for packages that fail to be delivered on untracked services as these cannot be located after dispatch; this includes liability for refunds and replacement copies. We will, however, always endeavour to help you resolve any problems.
- International Tracked orders are sent via International Priority, which can broadly take between 5 and 21 business days to reach. This is traceable from dispatch to delivery and a tracking number will be relayed to the customer.
- If a customer enters an incorrect address on their order, These Football Times do not take liability for a non-delivery. In such an instance, we recommend you contact the mailing company or your local postal service to resolve it. We will, however, always endeavour to help you resolve any problems.
- For any tracked international deliveries that do not reach the intended destination, in a scenario where the correct address was provided, These Football Times will dispatch a new copy or offer a full refund.
For peace of mind and guarantee of delivery, we recommend purchasing tracked mailing for your magazine if it's going outside the UK.
