Corriere della Sera: Napoli vs Arsenal Classified as High-Risk Match, Around 1,500 Gunners Fans Expected

The Champions League may reignite Napoli fans' enthusiasm, but the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium has not yet reached a sell-out. Around 45,000 tickets have been sold for the match against Arsenal. Corriere della Sera pointed out that ticket pricing policies for European competitions may also have affected fan attendance. A comparison with the San Siro is unavoidable: more than 80,000 fans attended Inter's match against Napoli last Saturday, and the Nerazzurri created a highly intense atmosphere during their comeback victory. Allegri hopes the supporters in blue can also become a factor in what is expected to be a particularly difficult match.

Napoli vs Arsenal: Around 1,500 English fans are expected at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium

Around 1,500 Arsenal supporters will travel from London. The number is considerable and has further increased attention surrounding this Champions League fixture. Due to the elevated public order risk, the match has already been classified as a high-risk event, with dedicated security measures to be implemented.

In the hours before kick-off, especially in central Naples, relevant authorities will remain highly vigilant, as concerns remain that tensions could emerge between the two sets of supporters. A new coordination meeting will also be held today, during which authorities will finalize the security measures and arrangements for managing the arrival of English fans in the city.
