Argentina and Napoli legend Diego
Armando Maradona will receive the honorary citizenship of Naples
on July 5 in the southern city's iconic Piazza del Plebiscito in
a ceremony starting at 21:30, Naples Sports Councillor Ciro
Borriello told ANSA Tuesday.
The ceremony will be preceded by a musical show in the
square.
Naples city council recently voted to give Mardona the keys
of the city because of the "commitment and love" he showed the
soccer-mad port city when leading its club to two Serie A titles
in 1987 and 1990.
"It will be a popular party for Diego" said Naples Mayor
Luigi de Magistris.
