Bologna's new stadium project is moving a step closer to implementation after the first deadline in the project's timeline has been met. Bologna and its president Joey Saputo, alongside Bologna Fiere, have given the green light to proceed with the plan, while the municipality of Bologna is preparing to send the official communication to the Italian Football Federation, confirming its desire to continue the procedures for the construction of the new stadium.
This step comes as part of Bologna's ambition to join the list of seven Italian cities that will host matches for Euro 2032, which could provide a significant financial boost to the project, as the city could benefit from government funding ranging between 25 and 30 million euros allocated for sports facilities related to the tournament.
Bologna is now waiting for the next steps to secure its file as one of the cities nominated to host matches in the tournament, while the city is striving to present its project as part of the infrastructure that will serve Italian football in the coming years.
The Italian Football Federation is expected to submit documents regarding the stadiums nominated to host matches for Euro 2032 to UEFA by September 30, ahead of the deadline set for October 1. Therefore, the current hours are of great importance for the Bologna project, which is seeking a place among the Italian stadiums hosting the tournament.
