Early closure of Line 1 between Italy and Sweden cancelled

Anm has cancelled the early closure of Line 1 of the Naples metro, scheduled for Thursday, September 10, 2026. The decision comes ahead of Italy-Sweden, a EuroVolley match scheduled for this evening in Piazza del Plebiscito, and aims to ensure regular service for those reaching the city center.

The ANM press release, inspections and early closure cancelled

In an official statement released on September 8th, ANM announced that the inspections scheduled for September 10th and the resulting early closure of Line 1 have been canceled. This decision was made to improve city mobility and ensure greater public transportation availability for the Eurovolley match, which will draw numerous spectators to the heart of the city.

The metro will therefore remain in regular service on the evening of the match, with no early service interruptions. No changes to Line 1's operating hours have been announced for Thursday.
