Some sections of Napoli's San Paolo stadium will be
closed until the end of October after violence marred their
opening Serie A match at AS Roma, the Italian Soccer League
said.
Interior Minister Roberto Maroni had already banned the
Naples club's fans from travelling to away games all season
following the trouble on August 31, in which a train was ransacked
causing half a million euros in damage.
The end stands, or 'curve', were being closed because they
are the parts of the stadium usually frequented by the fans who
caused the trouble, sporting judge Gianpaolo Tosel said in a
statement on the league's website.
