Napoli History and Records


In 1905, a club named Naples Foot-Ball & Cricket Club was founded by William Potts and his associate Hector M. Bayon. The club was renamed to Associazione Calcio Napoli in the year 1926 under the presidency of Giorgio Ascarelli. The club got its current name, Società Sportiva Calcio Napoli on 25 June 1964 but is commonly referred to as Napoli.


Napoli faced a low period for the majority of its early years but after 1964, when the club got promoted back to Serie A, they have been rising continuously. The worst defeat for Napoli was in the early days after its formation when the club lost to Torino by 11-0 on 4 March 1928. After settling down as a club, napoli secured some great victories, the biggest of which was against Pro Patria on 16 October 1955 with a scoreline of 8-1.
