Nigeria international, Victor Osimhen, has described the Napoli fanbase as the most electrifying in the world.
The goal poacher, who joined Napoli from Lille, has become an elite figure among the fans of the Italian club.
Osimhen expressed his admiration for the Partenopei fans, describing them as extraordinary and leaving him speechless with their support during matches.
“Extraordinary. For me it’s absolutely incredible. I’ve been in football for 6-7 years now and I say it in every interview when they ask me about Napoli fans,” Osimhen said.
“When I have to look for a word to describe them, I am speechless because they are absolutely electrifying. I have never seen anything like this that takes football so seriously. The way fans support the team is truly unbelievable.”
Osimhen further praised the fans for their passion, stating, “You can see it in the stadium, when we lose or when we win, everyone in the stadium is really electrifying. When we score it’s fantastic, the whole stadium turns upside down and starts celebrating.”
He emphasized that Napoli fans connect with the club’s identity, making them stand out from other fans worldwide.
“They are among the best fans in the world for how they support their team and how they live their everyday lives making sure the identity of this club is connected to them,” Osimhen explained.
“Sometimes I understand why some legends of the past cried when they left Naples because it is an extraordinary emotion to play in the stadium and hear your name shouted from the first minute to the 90th, supporting the team and cheering.”
Osimhen’s remarks highlight the deep bond between Napoli fans and the club, making their support an integral part of the team’s identity.
