SSC Napoli defeated Serie B side Carrarese 2‑0 in the second pre‑season friendly of their 2026 training camp, held on 26 July at the Carciato pitch in Dimaro, Val di Sole. Rasmus Hojlund opened the scoring in the 23rd minute after a cross from Antonio Vergara, and a penalty taken by Giovane before halftime made it 2‑0. Vergara also earned the penalty with a challenge in the box but had to leave the field in the 80th minute with a knee contusion; he walked off the pitch after treatment, reassuring staff that the injury was minor. Coach Massimiliano Allegri praised the squad’s improved fitness, highlighted the tactical progress since the earlier loss to Arezzo, and said the club will calmly assess the transfer market after the retreta, which will move to Castel di Sangro. Numerous substitutions gave playing time to younger squad members, providing a positive assessment ahead of the forthcoming Serie A season.
