Napoli-Eintracht, travel banned for German fans: the prefect enforces the ban

The Champions League match between Napoli and Eintracht Frankfurt, scheduled for Tuesday, November 4, 2025, at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, will be played without the presence of visiting fans.

The prefect of Naples, Michele di Bari, has indeed ordered the ban on ticket sales to residents of Frankfurt for all sections of the stadium.

The reasons for the measure

The decision came after the meeting of the Provincial Committee for Public Order and Safety on September 20 and was made "upon the advice of the Naples Police Headquarters."

The basis of the measure is public order concerns, linked to the high rivalry between the two sets of fans. This very opposition had already led to serious incidents during the match on March 14, 2023, also held in Naples and remembered for the severe clashes that endangered the city's safety.

Precedents and consequences

The travel ban for German supporters is not new: in the past, during matches between Napoli and Eintracht, authorities had taken extraordinary measures to prevent incidents.

This decision, while reducing the risk of disturbances, also fuels the debate on the issue of limiting organized travel in the Champions League, where the tense atmosphere between rival fans continues to pose a challenge for security management.
