More about Napoli
This free Napoli quiz spans the whole story: the decades of longing, the seven seasons when Diego Maradona made the San Paolo the centre of the football world, the 33-year wait that followed him out the door, and the astonishing modern run that delivered two more scudetti in three seasons under Luciano Spalletti and Antonio Conte. Four league titles as of 2026, a UEFA Cup, a number 10 shirt retired in Maradona's honour and a stadium renamed after him — few clubs compress this much drama into one history, and none celebrate quite like Naples does. If you know why the ground is no longer called the San Paolo, this is your quiz.
The defining nights are all in here. 1987, when Maradona dragged Napoli to the first scudetto in the club's history and added the Coppa Italia for a double. The 1989 UEFA Cup, their first major European trophy — a 2-1 first-leg win over Stuttgart at the San Paolo with Maradona and Careca on the scoresheet, then a 3-3 draw in Germany to take it 5-4 on aggregate. The 1990 run-in, when Napoli pipped Milan by two points for a second title. Then the long silence, broken on 4 May 2023 by Victor Osimhen's second-half equaliser at Udinese — a 1-1 draw that sealed the third scudetto with five games to spare, 33 years after the last. And 23 May 2025, when Scott McTominay — that season's Serie A MVP — and Romelu Lukaku beat Cagliari 2-0 to clinch a fourth, one point ahead of Inter.
Expect the full spread of topics. Transfers run from the then-world-record fee that brought Maradona from Barcelona in 1984 to the modern churn: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's €70m move to Paris Saint-Germain in January 2025, Victor Osimhen's €75m sale to Galatasaray that summer, and Kevin De Bruyne arriving on a free from Manchester City in June 2025. Records mean Dries Mertens' 148 goals, the most in club history, and the Ma-Gi-Ca front line of Maradona, Bruno Giordano and Careca, who shared 36 goals in 1987-88 while Maradona took the capocannoniere crown with 15. Managers span Ottavio Bianchi, Luciano Spalletti — at 64 the oldest coach to win Serie A — and Antonio Conte, a champion in his first season before departing at the end of 2025-26. Difficulty is graded easy to hard: warm up on which club sold Maradona to Napoli before the quiz starts asking who scored in the first leg of the 1989 final.
Every question comes with a short explained answer — not just "wrong, it was Careca", but the story behind it: why that UEFA Cup meant so much to Naples, or how a 1-1 draw in Udine set off one of the great city-wide parties in football history. Even the ones you miss leave you knowing more about Napoli than when you started. Play the sample set below for free, straight in your browser, no sign-up needed. When you want the rest, the full Napoli question bank lives in the Ball IQ app, alongside the daily challenge and multiplayer modes — so you can put your Partenopei knowledge up against friends who insist theirs is better.
