SSC Napoli have recently adjusted the kick-off time for their pre-season friendly against Olympiacos, moving it from 20:00 to 18:00 CEST on Thursday, 14 August 2025; tickets already purchased remain valid for the new time[1].

After selling out three international friendlies (against Stade Brestois 29, Girona FC, and Olympiacos FC), Napoli added two more matches to their pre-season schedule at Stadio Teofilo Patini in Castel di Sangro: Napoli v Casertana on 4 August 2025 (10:00), and Napoli v Sorrento on 10 August (10:00); tickets are available exclusively via TicketOne[1].

Special arrangements have been made for disabled supporters, with 25 seats reserved in the Curva Nord for all Castel di Sangro friendlies[1].

Napoli are currently actively engaged in the summer transfer market. While terms have reportedly been agreed for Girona defender Miguel Gutierrez at €20 million, a final decision on signing has not been made[5]. Forward Victor Osimhen has completed a permanent move to Galatasaray, marking the end of his time with Napoli[5]. Additionally, Napoli midfielder Jens Cajuste could be targeted by Saudi club Neom SC and Championship side Ipswich Town[5].

Winger Matteo Politano expressed optimism ahead of the new season, affirming that the squad is prepared to “compete with anyone” as Napoli return to the UEFA Champions League for the 2025-26 campaign[2]. Politano played 37 Serie A matches under Antonio Conte last season as Napoli lifted the Scudetto, as well as two Coppa Italia appearances and Nations League matches for Italy[2].

Napoli’s pre-season campaign continues with an international friendly against Stade Brestois 29; previews and match details are being widely covered ahead of kickoff on 3 August 2025[4][7].

The Napoli squad and management are focused on reinforcing the team following a challenging 2023-24 season, where they placed 10th in Serie A but bounced back to win the league title under Conte in 2024-25[3]. The club continues community and supporter outreach, and regular updates are provided through official and fan news channels[6].
