The dates of this year’s camp were officially announced by SSC Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis, the Trentino Councillor for Tourism and Sport, Trentino Marketing CEO Maurizio Rossini and Apt Val di Sole President Luciano Rizzi.
“I am happy to continue this wonderful partnership with Trentino, which will host Napoli for a 14th pre-season training camp this year,”President Aurelio De Laurentiis said. “Val di Sole offers the right atmosphere to recharge after a long, tiring season. This summer we will hit the ground running with many players to start a new successful season.”
Here’s what Maurizio Rossini had to say: “Having the honour of hosting SSC Napoli’s pre-season training camp in Trentino and in particular in Val di Sole for the 14th time makes us very proud. Trentino is the ideal location for sports activities and in summer it is a strategic destination for many sports clubs, from football to volleyball, basketball, fencing and gymnastics, to mention just a few examples. This is thanks to a very suitable climate, as well as well-equipped, modern sporting facilities and services that stand out in terms of quality and professionalism. The fact that President Aurelio De Laurentiis has once again chosen Dimaro and Folgarida to start the long process of preparing the squad athletically and technically for the new season is proof of the close bond between Trentino and SSC Napoli, a prestigious club with devoted fans who love what Val di Sole has to offer in terms of nature and food. We offer countless activities for families, relaxation, as well as mountain huts and inns, with their unmistakable atmosphere.”
Luciano Rizzi commented: "We are pleased to once again offer SSC Napoli fans an 11-day stay in Val di Sole to attend the training sessions of their heroes and at the same time to enjoy a holiday and explore Trentino. Trentino has a unique environmental heritage and breathtaking landmarks: the Brenta Dolomites, a UNESCO world heritage site, our perennial glaciers, thermal waters, the Noce River, which is ideal to engage in sports activities, and the two side valleys of Peio and Rabbi. Then there’s the woods, the alpine pastures, the rural elements of the mountains, our cuisine and advanced accommodation infrastructure. Plus opportunities to relax and have fun in a place that is increasingly considered a paradise for outdoor activities, from mountain biking to rafting, hiking and high altitude mountaineering."
