Italy and Türkiye will be joint hosts of the EURO 2032 tournament, UEFA announced on Tuesday.

The bid ran unopposed but still needed official approval from European football's governing body, which they received at a meeting in Switzerland.

Türkiye last week withdrew from the bidding process for Euro 2028, clearing the path for Britain and Ireland, who shelved plans to bid to host the 2030 World Cup to focus on staging the European Championship.

Türkiye, which has bid unsuccessfully to stage every Euro going back to 2008, was initially a candidate for both 2028 and 2032.

However, in July it agreed to join Italy in a bid for the 2032 edition, without saying at the time if it would pull out of the running for 2028.

Italy also hosted matches in Rome at Euro 2020 but has not hosted a tournament on its own since the 1990 World Cup.

It hosted the final stages of the four-team Euro in 1968 and the eight-team tournament in 1980.

Türkiye, which hosted this year's Champions League final in Istanbul in June, has never been awarded a major international competition.
