Italy nominates 13 cities and 14 stadiums for Euro 2032 co-hosting with Turkey

The Italian Football Federation has submitted a bid to UEFA featuring 13 cities and 14 stadiums to co-host the UEFA European Championship in 2032, which Italy will organize jointly with Turkey.

The list of candidate cities includes Bari, Bologna, Cagliari, Florence, Genoa, Lecce, Milan, Naples, Palermo, Rome, Salerno, Turin, and Verona. Rome is the only city to propose two stadiums: the Stadio Olimpico and AS Roma’s planned new stadium in the Pietralata district, both having met the required standards.

Naples has nominated only the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, excluding the new stadium project that club president Aurelio De Laurentiis intends to build outside the city. Rome’s Flaminio Stadium was left off the list despite Lazio’s plans to redevelop it.

The proposed venues also include new stadium projects in Bologna and Verona, with both cities submitting plans for new arenas in hopes of completing them before the tournament begins.

Final stadium selection

UEFA will select five stadiums from the Italian shortlist to host matches during the summer of 2032, while Turkey will provide five additional venues, as the two countries jointly stage the tournament.
