Mayor of Naples: He is promoting the renovation of Maradona Stadium and welcomes him to build a new Stadium

Not long ago, Naples Mayor Manfreddy was interviewed by "Il Mattino" and talked about the renovation of Maradona Stadium and the plan of Naples's desire to build a new stadium.

He said: "Our goal is to have a competitive stadium. The city is promoting the renovation of the Maradona Stadium, which is owned by us. We hope it can comply with the UEFA specifications as much as possible and ensure sufficient financial support."

"If the Naples club intends to build a new stadium, we certainly welcome it. It is the club's own responsibility and they can choose a legal and economically sustainable investment path."

Build a new stadium while renovating the Maradona Stadium?

"We must advance in parallel, and at the same time we must realize that there is a clear time node: according to UEFA regulations, by October 2026, the project implementation plan and financial guarantee proof must be completed. This requirement applies to both the renovation of the Maradona Stadium and possible new stadium projects. Therefore, we must advance in both directions at the same time."

"There are many models to learn from, such as Bologna, Florence, and even the current situation in Milan also shows that this It does involve historical protection restrictions and funding issues. The city is open to all options, with the goal of providing the city with a modern stadium. We will be fully coordinated with President De Laurentis, who just led the team to win the second Serie A title and is ready to face the Champions League challenge. "Is it really suitable for building a stadium on a technical level?

"The Kalamanico area does have some historical problems, such as the current market facilities, and involve vested interests of third parties, which are all limiting factors that must be considered."
