Napoli, the Castel di Sangro retreat is about to start: dates, friendlies, structure, and logistical news

Everything is ready for the second phase of Napoli's summer preparation. From Wednesday, July 30 to Thursday, August 14, the team will move to Castel di Sangro for the usual pre-season retreat at high altitude. It will be a key period to refine schemes, evaluate physical condition, and put the group to the test with international-level tests. The headquarters will once again be the Aqua Montis Resort in Rivisondoli, a structure that has already hosted the blues in previous seasons.

The program: training sessions and three international tests

During the retreat, Napoli will play three official friendlies, all scheduled at the Patini stadium in Castel di Sangro:

Sunday, August 3, 7 pm: Napoli - Brest

Saturday, August 10, 7 pm: Napoli - Girona

Thursday, August 14, 8 pm: Napoli - Olympiacos

Besides the work on the field, these will be decisive days to verify the progress of the group led by Antonio Conte, who wants an intense, competitive, and mentally prepared Napoli to face the challenges of the season.

Infrastructure and hospitality: the organization grows

The municipality and local organization have prepared enhanced logistics to welcome fans and enthusiasts, expected in even higher numbers than in previous years:

Three completely renovated natural grass fields

A multipurpose sports hall dedicated to exhibition activities: the Scudetto trophy will also be on display

Expanded parking areas, dedicated access for people with disabilities, covered areas for families and children

Most training sessions will be open to the public, except for a few closed-door sessions. The authorities invite visitors to prefer weekdays (Monday to Thursday), when the influx will be more contained compared to weekends.

An event for the community: waiting for Conte's birthday

Among the most anticipated moments, also the celebration of Antonio Conte's 56th birthday, which will occur during the retreat. Although the municipality has not released any previews, a surprise dedicated to the Salento coach is expected, who with his charisma and a Scudetto in his first year as Napoli coach, has already conquered everyone.
