GOOD LUCK ..... Italy Bid to host EURO 2016
The 2016 Championship will be the first to be organized with 24 teams instead of 16. In the past few days Italy launched its Logo for the bid but has still to announce the list of 9 stadiums and 3 optional back-ups
for the championships. But the list is expected to include the same host cities listed in the 2012 bid: Bari, Bologna, Cagliari, Firenze, Genoa, Milano, Napoli, Palermo, Roma, Turin, Udine and Verona.

Foza Azzurri Statistics congratulate Italy for the bid and wish the Federation all the good luck required to achieve this important event.



On the 2 March 2009 the Italian Football Federation has launched its bid to host the 15th Edition of the European Nations Championships to be held in the summer of 2016. Italy has already organized two European Championships: the 3rd edition in 1968 and the 6th edition in 1980, and surprisingly lost its bid at the last vote to host the 14th edition in 2012 to Poland and Ukraine. Italy will be competing with three other bidders: France, Turkey and joint-bid Norway/Sweden. The final decision
will be taken by UEFA next May 2010.

CONGRATULATIONS ....................... BUFFON
