Arsenal are set to take on Napoli in the first round of Champions League league phase fixtures, and as things stand, it could be a huge match for both clubs.
The trip to Naples is one that many Arsenal fans will be looking forward to for a number of reasons, but for some, it won't be their first. The Gunners most recently travelled to Naples back in 2019, in the Europa League quarter-finals.
If you are an Arsenal fan making the trip over to Italy for the match, our guide below has all the information you need to know to make it an enjoyable one.
How many Arsenal fans are going to Naples?
Arsenal have been given 2,482 tickets for the match against Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Napoli's home stadium has a capacity of 54,726, so Arsenal should be entitled to closer to 2,700 as per UEFA's 5% away allocation rule.
As the match has the potential to be a big one for the English side, it isn't out of the question that some Arsenal fans will travel over without tickets.
Where will Arsenal fans sit at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona
The away section at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona is located in the northeast corner, wedged in between the Curva A and the Tribuna Posillipo. The away section spans both active tiers at the stadium (the upper ring is out of use), making it narrow and long rather than wide and short.
The view from the away end was historically far better for supporters in the lower tier, as there used to be a running track that wrapped around the perimeter of the pitch. However, since this was removed, the view from both tiers is good.
