Overview

  • UEFA said it received four formal bids for 2029 from a joint Sweden–Denmark proposal and from Germany, Poland and Portugal.
  • The host nation will be selected by UEFA’s Executive Committee in Nyon on December 3, 2025.
  • The FIGC did not convert its expression of interest into a full bid by the August 28 deadline.
  • Reporting points to skepticism over the quality and readiness of Italian stadia and to weak expected backing among Executive Committee members.
  • Media consider the Sweden–Denmark bid the frontrunner, and some observers warn Italy’s stadium issues could complicate its Euro 2032 co-hosting with Turkey.
