Pride, passion and belonging
The story of Napoli Basket is one of challenges, ambition, and renewal.
Founded in 1946, the team was born in a city where sport is not just entertainment — it’s a passion and a symbol of identity. Over the years, global stars have worn the blue jersey — from NBA Hall of Famer Alex English to Charles Smith and Kevin Pangos.
Our journey isn’t defined only by trophies or results, but by the pride we take in representing this city. Today, we begin a new chapter — one that honors the legends who shaped our history and celebrates the deep sense of belonging that has always defined us.
Our vision: Destination Naples
“Destination Naples” is more than a slogan — it’s a statement of purpose.
With our new ownership group, led by Rizzetta and Doyle, we’re launching a bold new project that begins with basketball but extends far beyond it — connecting with the city, the fans, and everyone who chooses Naples as their destination.
Our goal is to position Naples not only as a proud southern Italian city, but as a globally recognized hub of sport, culture, and identity.
