SSC Napoli has kicked off its historic 100th season, marking nearly two decades in Serie A, and is gearing up for multiple competitions including the Coppa Italia, Supercoppa Italiana, and the UEFA Champions League[8].

The club remains under the management of Antonio Conte, with Giovanni Di Lorenzo as captain, and will play home games at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona[2]. Following a challenging 2023-24 campaign where Napoli finished 10th in Serie A, the club has taken bold steps to reshape its squad and ambitions for the new season[1].

Napoli has been active in the transfer market, completing the signing of Dutch winger Noa Lang from PSV until 2030 and reaching agreement for Marseille and Atalanta target Giacomo Raspadori, while ongoing negotiations include a deal for Manchester United forward Rasmus Hojlund, who is expected to undergo medical tests imminently[2][3]. The team extended Zambo Anguissa’s contract until June 2027 and are working on deals involving Cyril Ngonge and Rafa Marin, the latter joining Villarreal on loan with a buy option[2].

In Serie A, the new season standings currently list Napoli with a clean slate alongside rivals, as no matches have been played yet. Early fixture schedules set Napoli to face Sassuolo and Cagliari in the opening weeks[2][4][6].

Napoli will also embark on a high-profile Champions League campaign, beginning with an away clash against Manchester City—where new signing Kevin De Bruyne returns to his former club—and concluding with a reunion against Chelsea, coached by former Juventus player Enzo Maresca[3][5]. The Champions League group also features Sporting CP, PSV, Eintracht Frankfurt, Qarabag, Benfica, and Copenhagen, promising a challenging European run[5].

The club has unveiled a new 2025/26 pre-match kit collection in partnership with EA7, continuing its tradition of stylish and innovative apparel for players and fans alike[7].
