The Stadio Diego Armando Maradona is Napoli’s home ground in the Fuorigrotta neighbourhood of Naples. Older articles often call it San Paolo: that is the stadium’s former name, rather than a different venue.
A stadium with a long history
According to SSC Napoli’s stadium history, the ground opened in 1959. It was remodelled for the 1980 European Championship and again for the 1990 World Cup. Those changes are part of the story of a venue that has hosted several generations of supporters.

Reading about the stadium
Historical writing often preserves the name used at the time. When an older match report mentions San Paolo, read it in that context. The current name honours Diego Armando Maradona, whose connection with Naples is central to many supporters’ understanding of the club.
