ROME – Within the deadline set by UEFA, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) today submitted the dossiers of the venues deemed suitable to continue the bid process to host matches at Euro 2032. President Giovanni Malagò forwarded to Alexander Ceferin, head of the European football governing body, the formal communication containing the FIGC's assessment of the complete investigation into 13 cities (Bari, Bologna, Cagliari, Florence, Genoa, Lecce, Milan, Naples, Palermo, Rome, Salerno, Turin, and Verona) and 14 stadiums (the capital is competing with the Stadio Olimpico and the project for the new Pietralata stadium; Naples with the Maradona stadium).
(PRIMASPORT) Once the dossiers have been received, UEFA will conduct the necessary compliance checks, which cover 11 thematic areas, including infrastructure compatibility and 120 operational requirements (for example, fan services, accessibility, sustainability, media and broadcast services, security, and hospitality). Only after this will the Federation proceed to select the five host venues.
“"We are pleased with the number and quality of the dossiers that have arrived at the FIGC," said President Malagò, "which demonstrates the commitment and participation with which Italy has responded to this challenge. I would like to thank UEFA for their fruitful collaboration and all the public and private entities that have contributed to this selection process with professionalism, expertise, and vision. The work done so far confirms our shared desire to provide EURO 2032 with cities and venues worthy of a major international event." (PRIMASPORT)
