'''Società Sportiva Calcio Napoli''' ({{IPA|it|sotʃeˈta sporˈtiːva ˈkaltʃo ˈnaːpoli|pron}}), commonly known as '''SSC Napoli''' or simply '''Napoli''', is an Italian professional [[Association football|football]] [[List of football clubs in Italy|club]] based in [[Naples]], [[Campania]]. The club competes in the [[Serie A]], the top tier of [[Italian football league system|Italian football]]. In its history, Napoli has won four league titles, six [[Coppa Italia]], two [[Supercoppa Italiana]] and one [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]].<ref name="calcionap2">{{cite news|title=La storia del Calcio Napoli sino ai giorni nostri |language=it|publisher=Ale Napoli |url=http://www.alenapoli.com/storia/storia.htm|url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081024075840/http://www.alenapoli.com/storia/storia.htm |archive-date=24 October 2008}}</ref> Napoli are the reigning champions of Italy, having won the [[2024–25 Serie A]] title. 

The club was formed in 1926 as Associazione Calcio Napoli following the merger of [[US Internazionale Napoli]] and [[Naples FBC|Naples Foot-Ball Club]]. Napoli saw relatively little success in its early years, winning their first major trophy in the [[1961–62 Coppa Italia|1962 Coppa Italia]]. Napoli then saw increased success in the late 1970s (including their second Coppa Italia in [[1975–76 Coppa Italia|1976]]) and especially in the 1980s, after the club acquired [[Diego Maradona]] in 1984. During his time in Naples, Maradona helped the team win its first two league titles (in [[1986–87 Serie A|1987]] and [[1989–90 Serie A|1990]]), the [[1986–87 Coppa Italia|1987 Coppa Italia]], the [[1990 Supercoppa Italiana]], and their only European trophy with the [[1988–89 UEFA Cup|1989 UEFA Cup]]. Following his departure, however, Napoli struggled financially, and endured relegations and a bankruptcy, prior to being re-founded in 2004 by film producer [[Aurelio De Laurentiis]]. Under his leadership, the club returned to Serie A and experienced a new era of success, winning three Coppa Italia  (in [[2012 Coppa Italia final|2012]], [[2014 Coppa Italia final|2014]] and [[2020 Coppa Italia final|2020]]), the [[2014 Supercoppa Italiana]] and two Serie A titles in [[2022–23 Serie A|2023]] and [[2024–25 Serie A|2025]].

By attendance, Napoli have the fourth-largest fan base in Italy,<ref name="tifo2">{{cite news|date=September 2012|title=Il tifo calcistico in Italia&nbsp;– Settembre 2012|language=it|url=http://www.demos.it/a00756.php|access-date=18 September 2012|archive-date=15 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131015164331/http://www.demos.it/a00756.php|url-status=live}}</ref> and were ranked as the [[Deloitte Football Money League|fifth]] highest-earning football club in Serie A, with $182 million in revenue during the 2017–18 season.<ref>{{cite web|title=Deloitte Football Money League 2014|url=http://www.deloitte.com/view/en_GB/uk/industries/sportsbusinessgroup/sports/football/deloitte-football-money-league/|access-date=9 October 2014|publisher=Deloitte|archive-date=20 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131220013031/http://www.deloitte.com/view/en_GB/uk/industries/sportsbusinessgroup/sports/football/deloitte-football-money-league/|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2018, [[Forbes list of the most valuable football clubs|Forbes estimated]] the club is the fifth most valuable club in Italy, worth $379 million. Napoli are also one of the associate members of the [[European Club Association]].

Since 1959, the club has played their home games at the Stadio San Paolo, which was renamed [[Stadio Diego Armando Maradona]] after the Argentine striker's death in 2020. Napoli traditionally wear sky blue shirts, white shorts, and sky blue socks at home and white shirts, white or sky blue shorts, and white or sky blue socks away; this is derived from the shirts of Naples FBC and the shorts of Internazionale Napoli after the clubs merged to form Napoli's predecessor [[#FBC Internaples|Internaples]] in 1922. Napoli have [[List of association football rivalries|rivalries]] with [[Juventus FC–SSC Napoli rivalry|Juventus]], [[Derby del Sole|Roma]] ([[Derby del Sole]]), [[Inter Milan|Internazionale]], [[AC Milan]] and [[Salernitana]] (Derby of [[Campania]]). The club's anthem is "Napoli", one of the major hits of the Neapolitan singer [[Nino D'Angelo]].<ref>{{cite web |title="Napoli" di Nino D'Angelo sarà il nuovo inno: l'annuncio di De Laurentiis |url=https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/serie-a/napoli/2023/05/27-108253458/_napoli_di_nino_d_angelo_sara_il_nuovo_inno_l_annuncio_di_de_laurentiis |website=corrieredellosport.it |access-date=23 August 2024 |language=Italian |date=27 May 2023 |archive-date=23 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240823150545/https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/serie-a/napoli/2023/05/27-108253458/_napoli_di_nino_d_angelo_sara_il_nuovo_inno_l_annuncio_di_de_laurentiis |url-status=live }}</ref>
