NapoliEintracht Frankfurt To Be Played Without Away Fans After UEFA Denies Neutral Venue

Authorities cite high risk following 2022–23 clashes in Naples.

Overview

  • The Champions League group-stage Round 4 match is scheduled for Tuesday, 4 November 2025 at 17:00 Brasília time at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples.
  • Italian authorities barred Napoli from allocating tickets to Eintracht Frankfurt supporters, resulting in a home-only crowd.
  • Eintracht requested the game be moved to a neutral venue open to both fan bases, but UEFA rejected the appeal.
  • Officials linked the restriction to the potential for renewed violence after serious confrontations in 2022/23 that caused injuries and property damage.
  • A 2023 measure also blocked Eintracht fans from entering Naples, and Napoli won the two previous meetings between the clubs.
