The city of Cagliari is officially a candidate to host the 2032 European Football Championships. The mayor Paolo Truzzu, as the last act of the dossier, signed the official document to present the Sardinian capital with its new stadium to the international competition that will arrive in Italy between nine years.

In reality, the plant doesn't exist yet, but the Municipality has placed the project and the documents with the construction process on the FIGC table, which should lead to the inauguration within the next three to four years.

Cagliari presented its dossier a month ago together with two other candidates, Bologna and Florence, and illustrated the plan for the new plant.

The deadline for submitting the report was initially set for February 14, then it was postponed by a few weeks.

The first positive feedback had arrived from the FIGC, the Municipality said following the meeting a month ago. The project for the new stadium, which will have to be built in place of the old Sant'Elia, had not received particular relief.

"The trend - Mayor Truzzu reported after the meeting in Coverciano - is to prefer the construction of new stadiums in urban contexts with the urban and social redevelopment of the area in which work is being done".

Sant'Elia was the choice - with the agreement with the Region for the financing of the 50 million needed to cover part of the costs - confirmed and defended by the Municipality after the hypothesis of a stadium far from the city, in the area by Su Stangioni .
