UEFA’s Euro 2032 warning the latest blow to Italy after World Cup exit

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin warned that Italy's co-hosting of Euro 2032 with Turkiye is at risk due to the poor condition of its football stadiums. Ceferin stated that if Italy's infrastructure isn't ready, the tournament will not be held there. Italy must name the five host stadiums by October, with eleven cities currently vying for consideration. While Juventus's stadium is ready, most other candidate stadiums require redevelopment or are still in the planning stages. Ceferin also cited the relationship between Italian football authorities and politics as a major problem. He emphasized that work on stadium improvements must begin by March 2027 to ensure Italy can co-host the tournament.
