The Italian and Turkish Football Federations have sent a letter to UEFA announcing their willingness to jointly organize the 2032 European Football Championship. Italy and Turkey were the only two federations to have sent the final candidacy dossier to UEFA , so barring any surprises they are moving toward assigning the continental review to the two countries.
Italian news agency ANSA reports that the decision was made after a meeting in Rome in recent days between Figc president Gabriele Gravina and his counterpart Mehmet Büyükekşi. The top European football body, during the Executive Committee scheduled for October 10, will reveal the venue for the 2028 and the 2032 European Championships.
As Gazzetta dello Sport explains, the organizing committees will remain two distinct ones. The rounds will be divided between the two countries, while of the ten Italian stadiums initially planned in the dossier (Milan, Turin, Verona, Genoa, Bologna, Florence, Rome, Naples, Bari and Cagliari) five will remain.
