Tickets in the away end at the Allianz Stadium can still be sold to fans with a Napoli Fidelity Card living everywhere except Naples and its province.

As Goal.com highlights, the decision was taken after Napoli and Cagliari supporters clashed during a Serie A game last week, leading to a seven-minute suspension at the Unipol Domus. Napoli and Cagliari were banned €30,000 each following the incidents.

Juventus have sold out the Allianz Stadium for today’s game with over 38,000 Bianconeri supporters.

It will kick off at 18:00 CET (16:00 GMT).
