Loren in Napoli strip

Sofia Loren

A striptease by 72-year-old actress Sofia Loren could be one of the more outrageous ways Napoli fans will celebrate if the team is promoted to the Italian top flight this season.

Loren, a movie sex siren from the 1950s and 1960s, is a big fan of the Naples club, which has fallen on hard times since winning its first Italian championship 20 years ago.

"I hope that Napoli win these last few games. You watch, if we go up I will do a striptease," she told Gazzetta dello Sport.
