SSC Napoli unveils centenary kit on MSC World Europa amid stadium funding debate

SSC Napoli presented its 2026‑27 centenary home jersey aboard the cruise liner MSC World Europa in Naples. The kit, developed with EA7, returns the historic “Corsiero del Sole” horse to the crest, features a new “Centenary Blue” shade, gold‑trimmed detailing and an NFC chip that gives owners exclusive digital content. Sponsors MSC, Coca‑Cola, Sorgesana and Dongfeng appear on the shirt.

Club president Aurelio De Laurentiis used the launch to call for a meeting with regional president Roberto Fico and Napoli mayor Gaetano Manfredi about the future of the Stadio Maradona, stressing that a refurbished stadium must generate sufficient revenue. Both officials replied that any new stadium would have to be financed entirely by private investors.

De Laurentiis also warned that the squad is oversized, with 46 players, and hinted that many will be sold before new signings are made under coach Massimiliano Allegri. The presentation marked the start of a season‑long commercial and sporting programme built around the centenary theme “Pe’ cient’anne”.
