UEFA statement on EURO 2012
UEFA has reaffirmed its commitment to staging UEFA EURO 2012™ in Poland and Ukraine. The UEFA Executive Committee reached this decision at its meeting in Bordeaux, France, on Friday.
Number of conditions
Euro 2012 częściowo w Niemczech
"Euro 2012 częściowo w Niemczech? Od poniedziałku to bardzo możliwe" - pisze dziennik "Bild". Zdaniem największej niemieckiej gazety przeniesienie części turnieju do Berlina i Lipska stało się realne ze względu na problemy finansowe Ukraińców.
"Prezydent Ukrainy Wiktor Juszczenko oświadczył oficjalnie: budżet Euro 2012 jest zagrożony. Musimy wspólnie znaleźć nowe źródła pieniędzy razem z bankiem centralnym i skarbem państwa" - pisze "Bild".
The National Stadium
The National Stadium is going to be built on the site of the existing Stadion Dziesięciolecia. It is, by all means, the largest Polish construction for Euro 2012. The National Stadium is expected to hold the opening match of the Championships, one of the quarter-finals and a semi-final. The stadium was designed by JSK Architekci sp. z o.o., GMP International GmbH and SBP GMBH (Schlaich Bergermann Und Partner).
Ukrania bez Euro2012
Szef UEFA Michel Platini nie wyklucza możliwości pozbawienia Ukrainy organizacji Euro 2012, turnieju, który ten kraj ma organizować wspólnie z Polską, jeśli gospodarze nie zdołają nadrobić zaległości w przygotowaniach do końca roku. Opinię taką wyraził w rozmowie z francuskim dziennikiem sportowym "L'Equipe".
Poland and Ukraine host Euro 2012 Uefa president Michael Platini
Poland and Ukraine host Euro 2012 Uefa president Michael Platini reveals the surprise hosts of Euro 2012 Poland and Ukraine have been chosen to host the 2012 European Championships. Italy was widely expected to win the Uefa vote in Cardiff, with another joint bid from Croatia and Hungary also in the running. However, Italy's bid was overshadowed by last season's referee corruption scandal and on-going problems with football-related crowd trouble.
