Italy submits 14 stadiums for Euro 2032

Italy has submitted 14 potential stadiums across 13 cities to UEFA as part of its preparations to host Euro 2032 alongside Turkey.

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) delivered the required dossiers before the deadline, with the list including both existing venues and several major redevelopment or new-build projects. UEFA will now assess the proposals before Italy selects the five stadiums that will ultimately host matches.

The 14 candidates are:

• San Nicola – Bari
• New stadium – Bologna
• New stadium – Cagliari
• Artemio Franchi – Florence
• Luigi Ferraris – Genoa
• Via del Mare – Lecce
• New San Siro – Milan
• Diego Armando Maradona – Naples
• Renzo Barbera – Palermo
• Stadio Olimpico – Rome
• New Pietralata stadium – Rome
• Arechi – Salerno
• Allianz Stadium – Turin
• New Hellas Verona stadium – Verona

Rome is the only city with two candidates, with the existing Stadio Olimpico joined by the planned new stadium in Pietralata. Milan has also included plans for a new San Siro, while Bologna, Cagliari and Verona are among the other cities proposing new stadium projects.

UEFA will now conduct compliance checks covering 11 areas and 120 operational requirements, including infrastructure, accessibility, sustainability, security, hospitality and media facilities. Only after that process will the FIGC confirm the five Italian host venues.

Euro 2032 will be jointly hosted by Italy and Turkey, with five venues to be selected in each country.
