Salerno wants to apply to participate in Euro 2032. With a letter from the mayor Vincenzo Napoli, he asks to include the Arechi stadium among the eligible ones. But Naples, understood as the capital of Campania and not as the first citizen of Salerno, has already made progress. Yesterday the deadline for sending applications expired. And the Municipality led by Gaetano Manfredi has already sent its application, following the meeting already held at Palazzo San Giacomo with the Uefa and Figc delegates at the end of July. The whole thing is part of a case that already broke out in recent months. The Municipality had asked the Region to finance the interventions for the Maradona. An appeal, that addressed to Vincenzo De Luca, which did not receive any response. On the contrary, the governor relaunched, at the end of August, the idea of nominating the Arechi, for which the Region has already financed the redevelopment intervention, for the European Championship matches. An idea that already triggered some reactions from Naples city councilors. How does the application for the European Championship work? By today, the municipalities should have sent a letter of membership to nominate the facilities to participate in Euro 2032, an event that Italy will host together with Turkey, and for which it must propose five stadiums. The Municipality of Naples, as mentioned, has sent its application. Now Uefa and Figc will evaluate all the proposals on the table. The next step is expected in July 2026: the municipalities must present the final projects for the restructuring with full economic feasibility. The project has already received an encouraging first signal at the end of the meeting in late July with the Uefa and Figc delegates. But the financial issue remains. The Municipality has already put in over ten million for the refurbishment of the third ring. But another 150 million are needed from the Region to implement the project presented by councilor Edoardo Cosenza. We will have to see what happens with the Region in the coming months, even after the new Council takes office. Meanwhile, Salerno is also moving. Mayor Napoli wrote to Figc president Gabriele Gravina, asking to include the Arechi among the facilities suitable for 2032. The Municipality also asked to know the details of the application dossier in order to make precise and punctual commitments. All this happens while Napoli football club wants to carry on its project for the construction of the stadium in the Caramanico market area. The appointment for the Zes service conference that must decide on the validity of the ‘Feasibility Project of the new Ssc Napoli stadium’ in the Caramanico area in Poggioreale is set for September 18. The Municipality has raised some concerns and requested changes to the project but without rejecting it. The first of these is that of the Caramanico market traders. Over three hundred families who, if the new stadium were to be built, would have to move and be relocated elsewhere with their business. Just yesterday the operators met the general director Pasquale Granata at Palazzo San Giacomo to express their concerns.
