Napoli Soccer played its first season in Serie C in 2004–05. Following the takeover of the defunct club by Aurelio De Laurentiis, a squad was completed in two weeks, with only a few players from the 2003-04 season being signed. The all-new team did not perform to the level of expectations, and lost out to Avellino in the playoff finals.

Despite the fact Napoli were playing in such a low division, they retained higher average attendances than most of the Serie A clubs, breaking the Serie C attendance record with 51,000 at one match.[1]
