In the 1962-1963 season the FIGC decided to create a national youth championship called the Campionato Primavera. In which the Naples has participated in since the first edition with mixed success. In the early sixties a young youth star was born in the median of Antonio Juliano , who would soon debut in the first team and become the second most capped player to ever play for Napoli with 505 appearances in the league and cup alone. Since then, several future international players have emerged, including the likes of Fabio Cannavaro and Lorenzo Insigne.
