Ceferin said the country must submit five stadiums by October as PwC counted only six Italian builds or redevelopments from 2007 to 2024.
- UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin warned Thursday that Italy risks losing its Euro 2032 co-hosting role unless the nation upgrades its football infrastructure, calling current facilities "some of the worst in Europe."
- Italy's stadium modernization has stalled compared to European peers; consultancy firm PwC reported only six Italian venues were redeveloped between 2007 and 2024, versus 19 in Germany, 13 in England, and 12 in France.
- Only Juventus' Allianz Stadium in Turin is currently tournament-ready, though 11 cities are competing for selection as one of five venues Italy must confirm to UEFA by October.
- FIGC president Gabriele Gravina resigned Thursday following the national team's World Cup qualification failure, though Ceferin defended him, stating "it is absolutely not Gabriele's responsibility" and blaming political inaction.
- Scheduled to co-host with Turkey, Italy must ensure construction work begins by March 2027 for selected venues to meet tournament requirements, Ceferin stated.
