According to Tuttomercatoweb.
Background
Chloe Kelly, who played a crucial role in last year's European Championship semi-final, remains an important figure in women's football. Her achievements have an impact not only on the sporting aspirations of the Italian team, but also on the wider recognition and support of women's football in Italy.
Why this matters
Giovanni Malagò's announcement to consider Italy as host country for the 2033 Women's European Championship offers a unique opportunity to strengthen women's football in the country. This could not only increase the visibility of female athletes like Chloe Kelly, but also improve the infrastructure of stadiums in Italy, which is crucial for the future of football in the country.
Key points
- Double European tournaments give impetus to stadium renovation in.
- The Italian football world wants to accelerate the much-needed renovation of the stadiums with two consecutive European Championships - first the European Championship for men and then for women.
- Due Europei son meglio di uno. E possono dare slancio al rinnovamento degli stadi.
Exactly one year after the dramatic elimination of the Italian women's team in the semi-finals of the European Championship against England, there is optimism from the board of the Italian football association FIGC. Andrea Soncin and his team saw their European dream shattered after extra time, when Chloe Kelly - after missing a penalty - scored the winning goal. That painful defeat has now made way for a new perspective on the future of Italian football, especially at an organizational level.
The new FIGC president Giovanni Malagò has announced that Italy is seriously considering organizing the European Women's Football Championship in 2033 after the men's European Championship in 2032 (together with Turkey). This would allow Italy to profile itself as the host country of one of Europe's biggest football events for two years in a row. Malagò calls this an excellent opportunity to not only give women's football a new impetus, but also to give the postponed stadium renovation file a major boost.
While only large cities with sufficiently large stadiums are eligible for the men's European Championship, the women's European Championship can represent an opportunity for smaller cities and more modernly equipped, but more modest in terms of capacity, stadiums. According to Malagò, this would be an excellent way to modernize regional stadiums, especially now that there are increasing calls for national regulations that should address the outdated football infrastructure in Italy. According to the association, doubling the European Championships also offers economic opportunities and directly contributes to a more sustainable football model.
In terms of sport, women's football is also getting closer to the level of other top European countries, but off the field the infrastructure is often still a stumbling block. With a European Championship as a booster, Italy can, according to Malagò,finally closing the gap with other leading football countries. Encouraging women's football, which is now extremely popular among young people in many European countries, is an important argument.
Although the final decision on the organization of the women's European Championship has yet to be made, Malagò's initiative shows that Italy has the ambition as a host country not only to score sportingly, but above all to invest structurally in football and the stadium landscape.
What's happening now
With the focus on stadium renovation and the organization of two consecutive European Championships, it is expected that the Italian Football Association will quickly take steps to improve the necessary infrastructure. This could also lead to greater involvement of smaller cities, which will now have the opportunity to develop modern facilities and thus further promote women's football.
