SSC Napoli faces UEFA fines over Ultras' choreography
SSC Napoli faces potential fines from UEFA following their Champions League match against Arsenal. The disciplinary action stems from a choreography display by the club's Ultras that violated federation regulations regarding the visibility of official advertising banners.
Reports indicate that while fans attempted a compromise by placing banners in specific areas, the action breached UEFA directives which mandate that official sponsors' banners remain unobstructed. This incident occurred amidst a period of tension, with fans directing chants toward club president De Laurentiis.
In preparation for the fixture, SSC Napoli had issued guidance for fans to arrive early at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona to accommodate security procedures. The club also emphasized the importance of purchasing tickets through official channels to prevent counterfeiting.
