Italy has taken another major step forward ahead of hosting Euro 2032 after the Italian Football Federation submitted its final stadium dossiers to UEFA.

A total of 14 venues across 13 cities have been put forward, with UEFA now set to assess each candidate before Italy selects its five host stadiums.

Which 14 stadiums have Italy chosen for Euro 2032 consideration?

The Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (FIGC) has submitted dossiers for 14 stadiums, including several venues that are set for major redevelopment or complete reconstruction ahead of the tournament.

The 14 venues were selected following an assessment of 13 cities, with Rome the only city to submit two potential stadiums.

UEFA will now carry out compliance checks covering 11 areas and 120 operational requirements, including accessibility, sustainability, security, hospitality, media facilities and fan services.

Only after that process will the FIGC select the five stadiums that will ultimately represent Italy at Euro 2032.

FGG says: Italy now has some major decisions to make

Submitting 14 dossiers is an important milestone, but there is still plenty of work to be done before the five Euro 2032 venues are confirmed.

Several of the candidates are also dependent on major redevelopment or new-build projects, meaning UEFA's assessment will be particularly important in determining which stadiums can meet the tournament's requirements.

The prospect of new stadiums in cities such as Bologna, Cagliari and Milan also gives Italy an opportunity to showcase a new generation of venues when the tournament arrives.
