The Napoli president wants to build a new 70,000-seat stadium, according to RMC Sport. The project, also reported by Record, would involve replacing the Maradona Stadium, the club's current home. The Neapolitan leader is thus considering providing the club with more modern and larger infrastructure. This information, published on 24 September 2026, has not yet been officially confirmed by the club. Both media outlets, RMC Sport and Record, agree on the planned capacity of 70,000 seats. The Maradona Stadium, currently used by Napoli, could therefore be abandoned in favour of this new project. No further details have been provided regarding the timeline or cost of this potential construction.
