International football competition

The 2032 UEFA Men’s European Football Championship, commonly referred to as UEFA Euro 2032 or simply Euro 2032, will be the 19th UEFA European Championship, the quadrennial international football championship organised by UEFA for the senior men's national teams of its member associations. Italy and Turkey will host the tournament, which is expected to take place between June and July 2032.

## Bid process

[edit]

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

[edit]

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

## Potential venues

[edit]

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.
