Italian Sports Minister: Three new stadiums will start construction in 2026, and I hope Naples will also have a new stadium

November 16th, Italian Sports Minister Abedi stated that at least three new stadiums will start construction in Italy in 2026.

Italy will host the 2032 European Cup. In order to have five qualified stadiums to host the competition, Italy has simplified the approval process for the construction of new stadiums. Minister Abodi said: "I am ready for action. It is not enough to just have the idea (of a new stadium). This idea has always been there, but if there is no specific action schedule, then things cannot move forward."

Minister Abodi continued: "In 2026, at least three new stadiums will start construction. The 2032 European Cup is a catalyst, and I must also provide proposals for my successor within a year and a half. It is a process that has been started, but the change in progress is significant."

Finally, Abody also talked about the Maradona Stadium in Naples, "I understand the sanctity of this stadium, but I hope that the government and the club can jointly find a solution to bring a stadium worthy of Naples. It is difficult for me to imagine that Naples cannot host the European Cup, but this risk does exist now."
