According to Milan Sports reports, Palermo is bidding to be a co-host city for Euro 2032, and Sicily has allocated 60 million euros for improvements to the Renzo Barbera Stadium.

Palermo hopes to secure a place among the host cities for Euro 2032, with discussions held in the Italian Parliament attended by representatives from political and sports institutions, as well as Palermo club officials. The conference, supported by Carolina Varchi, a member of the Brothers of Italy party, focused on modernizing the Renzo Barbera Stadium and the progress of Sicily's capital bid to host the European Championship, which will be co-hosted by Italy and Turkey.

Giovanni Malagò, president of the Italian Football Federation, said: "The initial deadline is July 30th, and by then stadiums—not cities—need to be identified. The second phase is part of the overall timeline. Perhaps all stadiums will continue forward, but honestly, I have doubts about that. Some bidders do not yet meet the relevant requirements. We have two weeks left, and I don't want to reveal too much prematurely. The coordination with various institutions, including careful involvement with the clubs, makes this bid objectively credible. It would be inappropriate to draw conclusions prematurely, before the relevant authorities complete their work. We are working with UEFA to see if we can extend the timeline for all technical procedures."

Andrea Abodi, Sports Minister, said on the same occasion: "The stadium project is first and foremost an urban regeneration project, which can give confidence to the city—not just at the sporting level. I believe Palermo's project will proceed smoothly. The stadium will be built, and then UEFA will assess whether to include it as a venue for Euro 2032."

Alberto Galassi, director of Palermo and City Football Group, said: "When City Football Group invests in a club, it invests in infrastructure as well. We firmly believe that infrastructure is as important as everything that happens on the pitch during the 90 minutes. We have done this in Manchester and New York. I love Sicily more than any other region in Italy. When I chose which Italian club to buy, I can say I was determined to buy Palermo.

"The stadium renovation is a 200 million euro investment, and we have already invested 10 million euros in the Barbera Stadium. City Football Group has built a training center for Palermo, which the club lacked for 126 years. We have proven ourselves, and now we have a rare opportunity again. I was born in Modena, a land with determined character but no volcanoes. We will do everything to complete this project on schedule and make it the most beautiful stadium in Italy—in both form and function. Not just for Euro 2032, but the most beautiful stadium overall."
