The Italian government has accelerated stadium approvals via Decree-Law No. 108 to support the Euro 2032 bid. The FIGC is reviewing 16 stadium projects from 13 cities to shortlist five venues for UEFA. While Italy navigates bureaucratic hurdles and facility upgrades, co-host Turkey has proposed ten cities, leveraging 38 new stadiums built under the Erdogan presidency. FIGC President Giovanni Malagò has indicated that the UEFA deadline for submitting the final list of five stadiums—originally set for late September or early October—may be postponed. Malagò described the relationship with UEFA as “idyllic,” noting that any delay would likely involve the technical evaluation and officialization process rather than documentation delivery.
