Naples authorities issue bans and stadium closures after violent football riot
Following a violent riot after a football match between Puteolana and Portici in Pozzuoli on October 25, the Naples Police Commissioner has issued eleven Daspo bans, ranging from five to ten years, against individuals aged 15 to 38. The incident left 34-year-old Mario Spedaliere in critical condition after he was struck in the head with a wooden club.
Judicial proceedings have resulted in several arrests. A 19-year-old suspect has been placed under house arrest with an electronic bracelet after confessing to the assault. Another 19-year-old has been ordered into prison. While eight individuals were initially arrested in flagrante, a judge recently validated only two of the five deferred arrests, citing insufficient evidence for three other suspects.
In response to the severity of the violence, the Prefect of Naples has ordered that all remaining home matches for Puteolana for the 2026/2027 season be played behind closed doors without spectators.
