Napoli fans were treated differently, being denied access to the Juventus Stadium for the first leg. On the other hand, tickets were banned for Napoli fans not residing in Campania, many of whom, living abroad, had already booked flights and accommodations to attend the match. The stadium—based on ticket sales trends—could be sold out with 50 attendees. 1000 seats are available for Juventus supporters in the lower away section, with entry through Gate 25. The Naples Police Headquarters will deploy over 800 law enforcement officers, as is the case for matches considered high-risk. Juventus fans who are unable to find seats in the away section could mingle with Napoli fans in other sections of the stadium, creating potential incidents. Another controversy has divided Juventus fans, after the "True Boys," Juventus ultras residing in Stuttgart but originally from Campania, clashed with other ultra groups in the stands at the Turin Stadium over insults directed at the city of Naples during the first leg. The internet has escalated to threats and rumors of settling scores.
