Welcome to Napoli, a city where passion runs as hot as the summer sun and every piazza echoes the tales of football royalty.

This isn’t just a trip; it’s a journey into the soul and legacy of two football giants, hosted by the one and only Eric Cantona. Meet the man himself, feel the heartbeat of football greatness, and witness the spectacle of Roma vs Napoli in a battle of pride, power, and deep-rooted rivalries.

We’ll kick off with an exclusive Q&A session where Cantona shares insider tales from his storied career. The stare-downs with defenders? Legendary.

Next, we’ll pay tribute to Maradona at one of the city’s most famous murals, soaking in the raw energy that still pulses in his honor. From there, it’s time to unleash your creativity as we paint a graffiti mural that captures the spirit of Napoli. Then, get ready to roll up your sleeves in a pizza-making workshop, because what’s a day in Napoli without mastering the art of pizza? We’ll sip on refreshing limoncello to toast our culinary creations.

And then comes the grand finale: Napoli vs. Roma at the legendary Maradona Stadium. Tutti insieme, alé!

Meet your Legend

ERIC CANTONA

There’s only one rebel, one King and that’s Eric Cantona—the man who made popping your collar a symbol of football dominance. When Cantona arrived at Manchester United in 1992, he didn’t just join the club, he transformed it. With swagger, audacity, and more than a bit of chaos, Cantona led United to four Premier League titles and two FA Cups in just five years. His chip against Sunderland, his jaw-dropping goals, and his savage spirit still give defenders nightmares.

But let’s be real—Cantona wasn’t just a player. He was (and is) a character. The kung-fu kick heard around the world? Iconic. The mysterious, philosophical one-liners? Pure gold. He was football’s ultimate anti-hero—the player who brought as much drama off the pitch as on it. Sir Alex Ferguson called him “the catalyst,” but fans simply called him The King.

Cantona wasn’t just a game-changer on the field, he was the heart and soul of United’s resurgence in the 90s. With every flick, every outrageous goal, and every stare-down with an opponent, Cantona made football art. He didn’t just win titles—he ruled Old Trafford with an iron will and a devilish grin.

And now, Cantona’s legacy goes beyond football. He’s an actor, an artist, and a living legend who’s still unapologetically himself. Whether it’s a pitch or a pub, when you’re in the presence of Eric, you’re in the presence of the King.

SO much more than a trip

Can’t recommend Looking FC enough!

Looking FC is doing something really special here. To bring people to football, through the lenses of the local community and to experience football as so much more than just the game has been an experience of a lifetime. The Looking FC team has been amazing from start to finish- responsive, helpful, accommodating, personable. The local guides they work with on the ground were phenomenal and were honestly what made our trip. This was SO much more than just a trip to “watch a match”.
