They also received a presentation from Juve Stabia management and met with key figures at the Club, including key administrators, players, the sporting director, coaches, and other senior officials. As part of the pre-match experience, investors were invited onto the pitch for a special walkout, allowing them to take in the atmosphere and get a firsthand feeling of the Club’s historic stadium and passionate supporters, or tifosi. At the match hospitality suite, investors were treated to an array of local delicacies, including fine regional wines from Campagna, limoncello, cured meats, fresh buffalo mozzarella, and traditional Neapolitan pizza, further immersing them in the rich culinary culture of Naples.
Beyond the matchday experience, investors explored the fabled history, traditions, heritage of Naples and its surroundings.

The itinerary included Pompeii’s ancient ruins, the scenic Gulf of Naples, and Castellammare di Stabia, birthplace of the legendary Italian naval vessel and epic wooden ship Amerigo Vespucci. In Gragnano, the home of one of Italy’s most revered pasta locations, investors toured Antonio Massa's renowned pasta factory, a proud Juve Stabia sponsor. They also enjoyed aperitivos and traditional Neapolitan cuisine at historic restaurants, acknowledged Naples as the home of luxury brand E. Marinella, and explored cultural landmarks such as the Duomo cathedral, along with iconic Diego Maradona murals and artwork, immersing themselves in the city's deep-rooted football passion.
