## Bids

In February 2022, the FIGC announced that they would withdraw their original bid for Euro 2028 to focus on the 2032 edition, as it would allow more time to invest on stadiums and facilities. On 17 November 2022, the FIGC presented their preliminary bid dossier for Euro 2032, revealing a shortlist of eleven cities involved in the organization (Milan, Turin, Verona, Genoa, Bologna, Florence, Rome, Naples, Bari, Cagliari and Palermo).

#### Italy and Turkey joint bid

On 28 July 2023, UEFA announced that the FIGC and the TFF had requested to merge their bids into one joint bid to host UEFA EURO 2032. The new bid was subject to further examinations to determine whether it was ready to get submitted to the UEFA Executive Committee at the meeting scheduled on 10 October, where the appointments for 2028 and 2032 were set to be made.

### Ineligible bids

* Russia – On 12 June 2021, Alexej Sorokin, the organizing committee director of Euro 2020 host Saint Petersburg, proposed an application from Russia for Euro 2028 or 2032. This was reaffirmed on 23 March 2022, the deadline for bids. On 2 May 2022, UEFA declared their bids for 2028 and 2032 as ineligible due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, citing that it breaches article 16.2 of the Bid Regulations, which state "each bidder shall ensure that it does not act in a manner that could bring UEFA, any other bidder, the bidding procedure or European football into disrepute".
