Which cities will host Euro 2032 in Italy and Turkey?

By · Published · Last updated

Euro 2032 goes to Italy and Turkey, expected in June and July 2032, with each country staging matches in five stadiums. As of 1 November 2026 we could not find a published final list. UEFA has publicly criticised the state of Italy's stadiums, and its president has warned that Italy could lose its share. So treat every city below as a candidate. UEFA picked the co-hosts on 10 October 2023.

Candidate stadiums

These lists mix earlier bids and later reports, and some names have changed. Reports gave October and November 2026 as the selection date, and we found no announcement.

Italy's stadium problem

In July 2025, UEFA's president criticised Italian stadiums, and reports said only Juventus Stadium had been approved. UEFA gave Italy until March 2027 to start construction on others, and he repeated the warning in April 2026.

Hürriyet has reported that Turkey could host alone if Italy doesn't deliver. That is a report about a possibility, not a UEFA decision. Italy remains a co-host today.

What this means for a trip

It's too early to book, but it's useful to know the shape of it.

• Turkey looks further along. Three Istanbul stadiums are on the list, and our Istanbul to Ankara train guide covers the link between the two biggest candidates.

• Italy depends on what gets built. Rome and Milan are the obvious draws, but neither stadium plan is settled.

• The two countries are far apart. Expect to fly between them, and check Turkey's entry rules and Italy's separately.

Tickets, schedule and final venue have not been announced.
