“Napoli Fans Make Money with Championship Commemorative Turf from Friuli Stadium Auction”

The grass at the stadium in Friuli is put up for auction… Starts at 145,000 won and soars to 1.02 million won

Fans of Napoli, who won the Italian professional football Serie A title for the first time in 33 years, started making money with the ‘Championship Commemorative Turf’.

According to a report by ‘Football Italia’ on the 7th (Korean time), the ground grass of the Friuli stadium in Udine, Italy, where Napoli confirmed the championship, has been put up for sale on the eBay Italia site.

Only a handful of grass is being sold at auction, and the asking price, which started at 100 euros (about 145,000 won), soared to 700 euros (about 1.02 million won).

Napoli won the Serie A title with a 1-1 draw against Udinese on the 5th. It was the third thrilling victory in 33 years since the 1989-90 season when the late Diego Maradona was active.

When the championship was confirmed, fans from Napoli rushed into the stadium. At this time, relay cameras caught fans putting grass in plastic bags, and some of them seem to have leaked on eBay.

The grass at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, home of Napoli, is unharmed. At the time of the championship, 50,000 home fans entered this place and watched the game on the electronic display board.

Football Italia reported that “Napoli frontmen expected the fans to take away the home turf and covered the entire ground with a blue tarp.”

Meanwhile, according to Italy’s ANSA news agency, four people were injured in a shooting while a celebration celebration took place across Naples, and one of them eventually died. Another three people suffered hand injuries from fireworks.
