FIGC, Gravina: “Sports infrastructures can represent an example of innovation”

At the conference on infrastructures, held in Brussels, the President of the Italian Football Federation, Gabriele Gravina, also spoke, highlighting the project for the renovation of stadiums by 2032, the year when the European Championship will take place in Italy.

Here are his words, and subsequently those of Michele Uva, UEFA’s executive director for social and environmental sustainability and delegate for Euro 2032, as reported by ANSA:

The FIGC President began: “Sports infrastructures can represent an example of innovation, inclusion, and integration within urban environments in an intelligent and sustainable way. This is the challenge we must embrace with Euro 2032.”

Afterwards, Michele Uva spoke: “Euro 2032 is an opportunity we cannot miss: let’s join forces, UEFA will act as a facilitator with its experience and knowledge. The stadiums built or redeveloped in Italy over the last 18 years are the result of personal investments. A systemic policy is needed. Euro 2032 offers a great opportunity to make a qualitative leap, first and foremost with a change in mentality. As an Italian, my invitation for 2032 is for all of us to come together—UEFA, the Organizing Committee, the government, local administrations, and all stakeholders: this way, both European and Italian sport will benefit. The European Championship is the only national team event that brings revenue to UEFA: the two billion in profits generated by the tournament in Germany will be reinvested in youth and women’s football. This is the model.”
