Italian Football Federation President Gravina attended the "European Sports Infrastructure" conference held in Brussels and gave a speech.

Gravina: "Sports infrastructure can become a model of innovation, inclusion and integration, and be embedded in the urban fabric in a smart and sustainable way. It is very important to renovate stadiums in Italy. This is also a challenge that we must meet with the 2032 European Cup."

Europe Michel Uva, executive director of social and environmental sustainability of the Football Association and special representative for the 2032 European Cup, holds the same view: "The European Cup is an opportunity that we cannot miss. Let us work together. UEFA will play a driving role with its own experience and knowledge. In the past 18 years, Italy has built or renovated The stadium relies almost entirely on private investment, and there is an urgent need to form a systematic policy. The 2032 European Cup provides us with an excellent opportunity to achieve leapfrog improvement. The first is a change in concept. "

"As an Italian, I call on UEFA, the organizing committee, the government, and Local governments and all stakeholders unite; in this way, both European football and Italian football will benefit. The European Cup is the only national competition that can bring profits, and the 2 billion euros in profits generated by the European Cup in Germany will be reinvested in youth football and women's football. This is our model."
