Napoli President De Laurentiis Watches Napoli vs Milan in Los Angeles

Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis celebrated his club’s victory over AC Milan from his residence in Los Angeles on April 6, 2026. De Laurentiis watched the match from his living room accompanied by his wife, Jacqueline and his grandson, John.

Marco Messina, a journalist with CBS Sports, was also present during the viewing and recorded the president’s reaction following the conclusion of the game. Upon the victory, De Laurentiis exclaimed, Vittoria! and asked Messina, Felice ora?

De Laurentiis further told the journalist, Molto, ci hai portato fortuna, sei un portafortuna, suggesting that Messina’s presence had brought luck to the team.

Premiere of Ag4in Documentary

The Napoli president’s visit to Los Angeles coincided with the U.S. Premiere of Ag4in, a documentary he produced. The film chronicles the SSC Napoli soccer club’s fourth Italian Serie A championship victory, which occurred in 2025.

The documentary provides an insider’s perspective on how the club, under the leadership of coach Antonio Conte, overcame various obstacles to secure the 2025 title. It also captures the unprecedented celebrations that took place within the city of Naples following the win.

The premiere was held as a gala event on April 6, 2026, at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. The event was attended by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and other prominent figures from the Hollywood community and the Los Angeles soccer scene.

The gala served to honor De Laurentiis for his entrepreneurial achievements in both the film and sports industries. According to a statement, the celebration was intended to highlight the growing influence of soccer in the region ahead of the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup in Los Angeles.

Club History and Management

Aurelio De Laurentiis, the nephew of film mogul Dino De Laurentiis, transitioned from movie production into sports in 2004. He purchased the SSC Napoli soccer club that year, effectively saving the organization from bankruptcy.

The 2025 Serie A title marked the second championship victory for the club under the management of De Laurentiis. This added to the club’s historical legacy, which includes the influence of Diego Maradona during his tenure with the team between 1984 and 1991.

Community Engagement in Los Angeles

In addition to the film premiere and the gala, De Laurentiis participated in events with the local fan base. The LA Napoli Fan Club organized a massive fan event on April 6, 2026, which featured the president as a special guest.

The visit integrated De Laurentiis’s dual roles as a film producer and a sports executive, utilizing the Hollywood premiere to showcase the club’s recent sporting success to an international audience.
