Naples - Law enforcement remains vigilant in Naples following the serious episode of violence that occurred overnight in the historic center, where a Chelsea fan was injured following an attack with a knife.
The incident, which occurred just hours before the Champions League match between Napoli and Chelsea, prompted an immediate strengthening of security measures.
The Prefect of Naples, Michele di Bari, strongly condemned the incident, emphasizing that targeted joint operations had been set up in the areas most affected by the influx and outflow of fans, both Neapolitan and English.
The checks concern in particular the city centre, the tourist areas and the connections to the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, where the match is scheduled for this evening.
In thanking the men and women of law enforcement for their dedication, the prefect appealed to all fans to be responsible, urging them to avoid any form of confrontation between the two fan bases. The goal, he reiterated, is to ensure that the sporting event takes place in an atmosphere of safety, respect, and tranquility.
"Events like tonight's should be a celebration for everyone," is the message from the institutions, which recall the founding values of sport: loyalty, inclusion, respect for the rules and for one's opponent. These values, especially after what happened last night, are crucial to avoiding violence and fostering peaceful coexistence among fans.
