A steering committee with special powers, mayors directly involved in the works, and a fast-track system to meet European deadlines. The amendment to the Sports Decree has been officially filed, establishing the Special Commissioner for UEFA Euro 2032 works, the key figure called upon to lead and coordinate the infrastructure transformation that awaits Italy in the coming years.
The Minister for Sport and Youth Andrea announced it Abode, explaining that the new commissioner structure is designed to expedite and simplify every step involved in the redevelopment of existing stadiums and the construction of new facilities. Among the key innovations is the direct involvement of host cities: mayors will be able to be appointed as sub-commissioners, a move aimed at enhancing the operational role of local authorities, owners of the infrastructure.
According to the official statement, the entire regulatory framework was conceived as an innovative model, combining central direction—essential for coordinating a system-wide operation—with the expertise and local knowledge of local governments. The stated goal is ambitious: to build modern, accessible, and sustainable stadiums within the timeframes set by UEFA, using streamlined procedures and exceptional tools.

The idea of having a Special Commissioner for UEFA Euro 2032 works seems good, but I hope the mayors will be truly involved, and not just on paper. Deadlines are always a problem, and speed is needed.
