Paganese: Superb glory

2026 marks the centenary of Paganese, the blue-and-white team of the city of Pagani.
The Campania fan base is known for its warmth and passion, as well as its pride in following and supporting the team everywhere, as it always has done.
Paganese is a symbol of identity for the entire city of Pagani.
They play in Serie D but from the first days of the 2025/2026 championship, both home and away, the ultra groups (which gather in the north stand “Salvatore Francavilla” of the Marcello Torre stadium at home games) have made it clear that they have reached a new level of maturity in terms of style, but also in their intentions and desire to win, putting on displays of support that have certainly not gone unnoticed.
Their support is punctuated by the rhythm of drums and accompanied by chants sung with choreographed movements in which they move in unison, alternating clapping, a distinctive feature of their identity.
The chant they sing with the team at the end of the match is a true hymn of love:
“I've been following you for years
I'll always be by your side
Up and down the country, you know, there's no distance that
can keep me away
from the colors that, for me
regardless of the result, I'm ready to support
Maybe one day I'll miss you
But you'll understand me
I got myself into trouble to defend you
I love you
I'll shout it to you in every stadium
How strong our love is
How strong this passion is
Azzurri
You must fight with your heart
Win the championship
We want to return to Serie C!”
