Genoa's Stadio Luigi Ferraris to be Renovated by 2029 for Euro 2032
By 2029, the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Genoa is set to undergo significant renovations to accommodate Euro 2032 matches, supported by the city and the football clubs Genoa and Sampdoria, with a budget of €14.5 million. Design proposals are expected by September 2025, with construction slated to begin in July 2026. Opened on January 22, 1911, for the Genoa Cricket and Football Club, the stadium was named in honor of Luigi Ferraris in 1933. Since 1946, it has been home to U.C. Sampdoria and is known for hosting the Derby della Lanterna. The renovation aims to maintain architect Vittorio Gregotti's vision while introducing access towers, skyboxes, and a park. A company, predominantly owned by Cds Holding, will oversee the project, with the remaining shares held by Genoa and Sampdoria.
