Bid process

Main article: UEFA Euro 2032 bids

On 23 March 2022, UEFA announced that three bids, Italy, Turkey, and Russia, had announced their intentions to host the tournament. Turkey and Russia were also simultaneously bidding for Euro 2028.^[1] Russia already being suspended at that point due to the country's invasion of Ukraine, its bids for both tournaments were later deemed ineligible.^[2]

On 4 October 2023, Turkey withdrew from bidding for 2028, and joined Italy to form a unified bid for Euro 2032.^[3][4] Having been unopposed in their bid, the two nations were announced as hosts of Euro 2032 on 10 October 2023 in Nyon, Switzerland.^[5]

This will be the first time that European Championship matches are played in Turkey, while Italy will be hosting its fourth tournament, after Euro 1968, Euro 1980, and four matches of the pan-European Euro 2020. For the sixth time in nine editions since 2000, the hosting rights for a 16-team or 24-team tournament were awarded to multiple nations.^{[n 1]} The Italian-Turkish bid was the first joint bid for a European Championship by countries not in close geographic proximity (the bids for Euro 2020 were made by each country individually).

Qualification

Italy and Turkey qualified for the tournament automatically as co-hosts. The remaining spots will be determined by a qualifying tournament.

Potential venues

On 12 April 2023, both Italian Football Federation (FIGC) and Turkish Football Federation (TFF) submitted their lists of 10 proposed venues, when they were separate bids.^[6][7] Since the bid became a joint one, each country will instead select five stadiums for the final tournament. The selection of the ten venues—five from each country—will be decided in October 2026.

Concerns on Italian venues

Compared to the more modern Turkish stadiums, the Italian stadiums have been reported to be below UEFA's standards. There have been proposals to modernise a majority of the stadiums, but said projects have either been cancelled, or are not scheduled to be ready by 2032. ^[8] In July 2025, it was reported that UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin had been repeatedly criticizing Italy's outdated infrastructure, calling their stadiums "a disgrace" and warned to authorities that "even small countries like Albania have made more progress" in constructing new and modernised stadiums.^[9] In the same month, it was reported that UEFA had approved one out of the ten stadiums proposed by the Italian Football Federation (Juventus Stadium in Turin), and were given until March 2027 to begin any construction on any new or renovated stadiums, warning that failure to do so could put Italy's co-hosting in jeopardy.^[10]

Notes

1. Euro 1996, also with 16 teams, was hosted only by England, but was still planned to feature only 8 teams at the time of bidding and host appointment.
