As Serie A giants Napoli travel to Udinese at the crack of dawn on Friday (5th), a win or a loss by Lazio a day earlier will give them a taste of the Serie A title they haven't had in 33 years. According to the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, Napoli plans to set up a giant screen at their home stadium to broadcast the game in real time, so that fans who can't make it to the game can watch their team make history.
Even though the match can only be watched live, the majority of Napoli's 54,000 home tickets are sold out, with only a handful of rare tickets priced at up to 100 euros (HK$866) still available and expected to be snapped up before kickoff.
Napoli's history includes two championships in the 1986/87 and 1989/90 seasons, when Argentine soccer superstar Manatana won the title for the team. However, the team has had a long history since then, having been relegated to the second division three times and even falling to the third division before returning to Serie A in 2007. In recent years, the team has always been the favorite to win the title, and this season they have been outstanding, and as of early Thursday morning (4), they were already 18 points ahead of second-place Lazio, so they deserved to win the title.
