A police officer from Nola was injured in the head during disorder connected with the Saviano-Cimitile football match in the regional Promozione championship.
According to the available local reports, the officer intervened while a passer-by was being attacked and was struck on the head with a stick while attempting to protect him. The injury required several stitches.
The police union COISP described the incident as exceptionally violent, according to independent local reporting. The reports do not identify the injured officer or give a medical prognosis beyond the need for stitches.
What happened
The reconstruction reported by local outlets says trouble developed around the Saviano-Cimitile derby, with disorder outside the ground.
The Saviano club's account, as reported locally, also describes firecrackers, smoke bombs, damage to stadium facilities and an attack on a scooter rider before the officer was injured. Those details come from the club's version of events and have not been independently confirmed by an official investigative account in the material available.
Match context
The fixture was Saviano-Cimitile in Promozione Girone C. The official LND Campania calendar lists the match in the sixth round, scheduled for 18 October 2026.
Local coverage published on 22 October describes the aftermath of that scheduled fixture. The available material does not provide a match result or attendance details.
What is not yet confirmed
No official police or judicial statement confirming arrests, suspects, charges or the final reconstruction was found in the validated research.
Several details, including the exact sequence of events and the alleged attack on the passer-by, are reported through the COISP or the Saviano club rather than an independent official investigation. Readers should treat those accounts as one side's reconstruction until official information is released.
Anyone seeking confirmation should check future communications from the State Police, the Naples police headquarters or judicial authorities, and subsequent official sports-justice communications for the Promozione championship.
