Napoli Renames Stadium for Diego Maradona

From now on, Napoli will be playing in Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

The Serie A club's stadium was renamed by the Naples City Council on Friday, moving on from Stadio San Paolo to honor the memory of the late Argentine icon. Maradona died last week from a heart attack at age 60.

Maradona is a legend in Naples, where he spent part of his playing career and led Napoli to its greatest heights. Napoli won its only two Serie A titles while he was at the club, and it also claimed the 1989 UEFA Cup title with Maradona in uniform.
