UEFA awards Euro 2032 to Italy and Türkiye


The hosts of the two European Football Championships after the 2024 European Championship in Germany have been determined. Great Britain and Ireland will host the tournament in 2028, and the European Championships will take place in Italy and Türkiye in 2032. The Executive Committee of the European Football Union UEFA decided this at a meeting in Nyon. The award was considered a formality for only one application at a time.

However, since the 1990 World Cup host (Italy) was unlikely to have ten European Championship-ready arenas built or renovated, both associations decided to run together. To achieve this, UEFA also moved away from its actual guideline that only neighboring countries can host a European Championship together.

With the double award, the trend continues that there are increasingly fewer applications for the expanded tournaments and hardly any candidacies from individual countries. The 2030 World Cup is expected to start with three games in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay and will then be played in Morocco, Spain and Portugal. This still has to be confirmed by the congress of the world association FIFA. The 2026 world tournament will take place in the USA, Mexico and Canada.

Due to the expansion of the European Championship to 24 participants and 51 games, there are fewer and fewer candidates in Europe who can manage the tournament on their own. Two years ago, the continental tournament took place in a total of eleven countries during the Corona crisis.

The UEFA decision-making body includes, among others, Hans-Joachim Watzke and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge as representatives from Germany.
