BREAKING: Napoli Renames Stadium After Diego Maradona by Nemere2020(op): 5:05pm On Dec 04, 2020
With a resolution approved today (see photo) the stadium was named after Diego Armando Maradona. The resolution was proposed by the Mayor Luigi de Magistris, by the councilor for toponymy Alessandra Clemente and signed by the entire City Council, which met in Palazzo San Giacomo. Shortly before the meeting of the Council, the Advisory Commission for City Toponymy had approved the proposal of the Mayor, the Councilor for Toponymy Alessandra Clemente and of the Municipal Council, naming the San Paolo stadium after Diego Armando Maradona with the name Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

In the official act of the municipal administration of Naples Diego Armando Maradona is remembered as "the greatest footballer of all time, whose very high sporting merits have been recognized, among other things, with his appointment as FIFA ambassador, who with his immense talent and his magic, he honored the Napoli team shirt for seven years, giving it the two historical championships and other prestigious cups, and receiving in exchange from the whole city an eternal and unconditional love “.

"Maradona - reads the resolution - embodied the redemption symbol of a team which, in the darkest years, demonstrated that it is possible to get up, win and triumph, while offering a message of hope and beauty to the whole city ​​because, through the football victories of the Argentine champion, it was not only the Napoli team that won, but the whole city, which fully identifies with him; always on the side of the weakest and the common people, Maradona fought the prejudices and discrimination that Neapolitans were still subjected to in the stadiums, becoming the idol of the entire city, which also forgave him the weaknesses and fragility ' man who never overshadowed the greatness of the champion "De Magistris in his resolution also emphasizes that he conferred honorary citizenship on Diego Armando Maradona in 2017, as a public attesting to the profound admiration and gratitude on the part of the city and that" no one is ever managed to identify himself so completely in the body and soul of Naples, with which el pibe de oro shared the genius and uniqueness, but also the recklessness and torments that made him a true son of the city. “; the municipal council also remembers the great champion who passed away as the son of this city who came from afar who wrote us in history and who is written in the history of this city “and also remembers the proclamation of city mourning for the day of his funeral. “Maradona - reads the decision of the Giunta de Magistris - is also loved and remembered by those who are not passionate about football or by those who, born after his legendary football feats, have not lived through the years of his successes; the manifestations of condolences and the acknowledgments received have also exceeded all sporting, social, geographical, political and religious boundaries, which have had very rare precedents, to the point of making the naming of "his" Neapolitan stadium a unanimous chorus of far greater reach wide of the city supporters "In conclusion, the resolution - approved unanimously - establishes" the naming of the San Paolo stadium after Diego Armando Maradona with the name of Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, subject to the authorization of the Prefect of the Province of Naples.

The only seria A and uefa cup they won was with Deigo that shows he is the history of Napoli. They should change the club name from Napoli fc to Marandona fc naming the stadium is not enough for me

Was the comparison necessary? Your hatred for Messi is out of this world. This is a bad thing, especially when it's considered that you don't even know him in person. You must be a jealous person in real life. Tufia!

U c y they say u messi fans are programmed robots, in other words " zombies" ... he stated that same will happen to messi in barca , thats comparing both.... Ronaldinho won barca their first CL title after 14 yrs and they hv quickly forgotten him...

He didn't compare them, because there's no purported rivalry between them. He merely stated what he felt was obvious because they both did great things for their teams. They're two of the greatest players of all time, from the same country. He talked about Messi because he's a fan of his, there's nothing wrong with that, and that does not indicate comparison. Your mind has been conditioned to always compare him with Ronaldo, and you always create a sense of rivalry. Now you are bringing Ronaldinho into the picture. You're obviously a troublemaker.

PS: I love both Messi and Ronaldo, but I think Messi plays better, and I don't compare them unnecessarily. It's that simple, I'm not a sentimentalist like you.

There was no comparison there. He obviously said that because of his love for Messi, and because he feels Messi deserved such feat...

You must really hate Messi to see that post as a comparison

No one will name a stadium after u outside ur home country..Maradona is the only person that has achieved that and he has in 2 different countries apart from Argentina....u cant beat that...if Messi has a chance , then it would b in Argentina, unfortunately, he is no different from Aguero there....he is foreign to them cos he has never delivered copa or world cup to them

Ronaldo is being considered in sporting... the best ferguson could have is at Aberdeen... barca will never name nou camp after messi cos messi did what other players have done for their clubs

Barcelona was already big and doing well when messi arrived.... napoli was like Southampton on these days when a Maradona led the to 2 titles and a uefa Cup...the only titles in their cabinet

This is why people remain stagnant in life. You see someone who has achieved so much in his field, someone with immense talent, and the only thing you could do is talk him down instead of appreciating that. How can you say Messi is not close to being the greatest? Even others who think Ronaldo is better will argue with you. You have a problem brother man.

I've never seen anyone hate a player as much as you do, my God!
Your comments is just full of hatred and envy.

You're no way in Barcelona's governing body/board. Let them decide if Messi is worthy of that or not.. I don't understand you.

Everyone knows that Messi is Barcelona's greatest player ever, it doesn't matter if Barca has been a big team before he joined or not. He came to the club and proved himself. He is their greatest player ever..

Stop mentioning Ferguson or Ronaldo, the comment has nothing to do with them. Like Messi, Ronaldo has proven himself as well. There's no room for comparison here.

Maradona has stadiums named after him outside his country doesn't mean another player can't/won't achieve that feat.
You're just full of hatred, and I wonder why....

Abeg no mention me again with another hatred filled reply.

That guy is always on Messi's case. He has never said anything positive about the fella. Even if the truth is glaring as day, he would find a way to bring out something totally unrelated to make sure people see him differently. This is indicative of the kind of person he is in real life.

Absolutely, He/She is clearly a shitty person in real life.
I have Ronaldo fans as my very very close pals and we argue sometimes, but never have I seen someone full of hate for another person because he perceived that person as a rival.

Answer a simple question... whats the difference between messi and di stefano huh When stefano scored 49CL goals in the 50s and over 300 goals for real madrid, it was like a forever record that will not b broken... those records stood for at least 5 decades b4 it was not just broken, but shattered.... so I guess because of loads of goals , the stadium should b named after the player... Santiago bernabeu can never have it renamed after ronaldo cos he did what others had done b4... napoli named their stadium after Maradona cos he did what no one has ever don till date .... I dint know u u guys think...when someone is logical, u call it hatred, typical way messi fans reason...
