Torino-Napoli, away fans from Campania banned: it’s now official | OneFootball

The official announcement has arrived: the away match between Torino and Napoli, scheduled for Saturday, October 18, 2025, at 6:00 PM at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, will be prohibited for fans residing in Campania. The decision was made by the relevant authorities following the episodes of tension that occurred last December 1, when clashes and firecrackers were reported between the two sets of supporters.

Torino-Napoli, away match banned for Campania residents: now it’s official

The National Observatory on Sporting Events has confirmed, as reported by CRC, the restrictive measure for the match in Turin. The measure was widely expected, given the match’s classification as high risk after the events of last season.

Awaiting Bologna-Napoli: no final decision yet

The situation regarding the Bologna-Napoli away match is different, for now. The Observatory has not yet issued any official provision regarding access for Campania fans to the “Dall’Ara” stadium. The matter will be discussed in the coming days, based on security assessments provided by the police headquarters and the Ministry of the Interior.

Napoli’s previous statement

Already on September 8, the Neapolitan club had released an official statement announcing the ticket sales procedures, specifying that — pending final decisions — residents of Campania would not be able to purchase tickets for Torino-Napoli.

The statement read:

“Napoli informs that tickets for the Torino-Napoli match, scheduled for Saturday, October 18, 2025, at 6:00 PM at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, will be on sale online and at VivaTicket outlets, except those in the Campania Region. As per the provisions of the competent authorities, ticket sales are prohibited to residents of Campania for all sections of the stadium. The purchase of tickets for the away section is allowed only to holders of an SSC Napoli fidelity card who are not residents of Campania.”

Reasons for the ban: previous incidents and public safety

The decision comes in a context of sporting tension and public order concerns. On December 1, 2024, during the last Torino-Napoli match, disturbances occurred between the supporters, with smoke bombs and firecrackers being thrown outside the stadium. Since then, the match has been classified as one at high risk of incidents.

The public security authorities, in agreement with the Observatory, have therefore preferred to prevent new episodes by limiting the away trip to only cardholders who are not residents of Campania.
