UEFA checks and next steps
UEFA will now perform compliance checks on the submitted files. The inspection covers 11 thematic areas and a total of 120 operational requirements, including infrastructure compatibility, fan services, accessibility, sustainability, provisions for media and broadcasters, security and hospitality.
Once UEFA completes its review, the FIGC will move to the final stage of the process: selecting the five cities that will be designated as hosts for EURO 2032 matches.
