The Stadio San Paolo side will meet Ukrainian opposition in the semi-finals, while the holders take on Vincenzo Montella's outfit
Napoli were paired with Dnipro in Friday's Europa League semi-final draw in Nyon, while Sevilla will take on Fiorentina.
Rafael Benitez's men saw off Wolfsburg in the quarter-finals to book their ticket for the last four, with Dnipro proving to be too strong for Club Brugge.
The Liga side, meanwhile, defeated Zenit 4-3 on aggregate in the last eight, whereas Fiorentina eliminated Dynamo Kiev.
Sevilla are the defending champions following their win after penalties over Benfica last season, having also won the trophy in 2006 and 2007.
Fiorentina last made it to the final of the Europa League in 1989-90, when it was still named the Uefa Cup, with Juventus beating the Artemio Franchi side 25 years ago.
Napoli previously enjoyed Europa League success in 1988-89, when Diego Maradona guided them past Stuttgart.
It's the first time in Dnipro's history that the Ukrainian side have made it to the semi-finals of the competition.
The first legs will be played on May 7, with the second legs scheduled for May 14.
The final will take place at the National Stadium in Warsaw on May 27.
