Official: Napoli Stadium Renamed Stadio Diego Armando Maradona

Napoli’s stadium will now be known as ‘Stadio Diego Armando Maradona’ in tribute to the club’s legendary player, who passed away, aged 60, last week.

Napoli’s stadium has officially been renamed in honour of Diego Maradona, the Municipality of Naples announced on Friday.  

The sporting world was shaken last week when Argentina’s great Maradona – widely considered to be one of football’s greatest ever players – died at the age of 60 after suffering heart failure.
