Euro 2012

The 2012 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as Euro 2012, will be the 14th European Championship for national football teams sanctioned by UEFA. The final tournament will be hosted by Poland and Ukraine between 8 June and 1 July 2012. It is the first time that either nation has hosted the tournament. This bid was chosen by UEFA's Executive Committee in 2007.

The host cities Warsaw, Gdańsk, Wrocław, Poznań, Kiev, Lviv are all popular tourist destinations.

Six of the eight venues are brand new stadia currently being constructed ready to open in advance of the tournament. Three of the stadia will fulfill the criteria of UEFA's highest category stadiums.

In a return to the format used at Euro 1992, Euro 1996 and Euro 2008, each group will be based around two stadia. In addition to the 8 host cities, Euro 2012 will also include other places, referred to Base Camps, as training centers for national football teams.
