Main article: UEFA Euro 2012 bids
The hosting of the event was initially contested by ve
bids representing seven countries: CroatiaHungary,
Greece, Italy, PolandUkraine, and Turkey.[5] In November 2005, after an initial consideration of the bid data by
UEFA, both the Greek and Turkish bids were eliminated
from the process, to leave three candidates.[6]
In May 2006, this was followed by a second round of the
selection process, which among other included visits by
UEFA to all candidates.[7] The nal decision was due to
be announced on 8 December 2006 in Nyon, but this was
postponed to give bidding associations more time for
the ne-tuning of their bids.[8] On 18 April 2007, the
monly referred to as UEFA Euro 2012 or simply Euro PolandUkraine bid was chosen by a vote of the UEFA

therefore announced the winner, without requiring a second round. Italy, which received the remaining votes,[2]
had been considered favourites to win the hosting, but incidents of fan violence and a match xing scandal were
widely cited as factors behind their failure.[9][10][11]

Poland and Ukraines bid was chosen by UEFAs Executive Committee in 2007.[2] The two host teams qualied automatically while the remaining 14 nalists were
decided through a qualifying competition, featuring 51
teams, from August 2010 to November 2011. This was
the last European Championship to employ the 16-team
nals format in use since 1996; from Euro 2016 onward,
it will be expanded to 24 nalists. Euro 2012 was played
at eight venues, four in each host country. Five new stadiums were built for the tournament, and the hosts invested heavily in improving infrastructure such as railways and roads at UEFAs request. Euro 2012 set attendance records for the 16-team format, for the highest
aggregate attendance (1,440,896) and average per game
(46,481).

There were some later alterations from the initial bid plan,
regarding the venues, before UEFA conrmed the eight
host cities in 2009.[12][13] During the preparation process
in Poland and Ukraine, UEFA repeatedly expressed concern about their preparation to host the event, with dierent candidates reported as being alternative hosts if they
did not improve;[14][15] however, in the end, UEFA afrmed their selection.[16]

2 Qualication

Spain became the rst team to win two consecutive European Championships, and also three straight major tournaments (Euro 2008, 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012).[3]
Spain had already gained entry to the 2013 Confederations Cup by winning the 2010 World Cup, so runners-up
Italy qualied instead.[4] As at Euro 2008 in Austria and
Switzerland, both 2012 host nations were eliminated in

Main article: UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying

The draw for the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying competition took place in Warsaw on 7 February 2010.[17]
Fifty-one teams entered to compete for the fourteen re1

maining places in the nals, alongside co-hosts Poland

and Ukraine. The teams were divided into nine groups,
with the draw using the new UEFA national team coefcient for the rst time in order to determine the seedings. As defending champions, Spain was automatically
top seeded.[18] The qualifying process began in August
2010 and concluded in November 2011. At the conclusion of the qualifying group stage in October 2011, the
nine group winners qualied automatically, along with the
highest ranked second placed team. The remaining eight
second placed teams contested two-legged play-os, and
the four winners qualied for the nals.[18]
Twelve of the sixteen nalists participated at the previous tournament in 2008. England and Denmark made
their return to the Euro, having last participated in 2004,
while Republic of Ireland returned after a twenty-four
year absence to make their second appearance at a European Championship. One of the co-hosts, Ukraine,
made their debut as an independent nation (before 1992
Ukraine participated as part of the Soviet Union). With
the exception of Serbia according to UEFAs ranking at
the end of the qualifying stage Europes sixteen highestranked teams all qualied for the tournament.

2.1

Qualied teams

The following sixteen teams qualied for the nals:[19]

[1] Bold: winner, Italics: host.

40% of the average ranking points per game earned

in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying stage and
nal tournament.
20% of the average ranking points per game earned
in the UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying stage and nal
tournament.
Aside from the coecient, three teams were automatically placed in Pot 1. Ukraine and Poland were both assigned to Pot 1 as the two host nations, despite the fact that
their rankings were the two lowest in the tournament; this
also occurred in 2008 when the co-hosts Switzerland and
Austria were also ranked below all other qualied teams.
As defending champions, Spain were also automatically
assigned to Pot 1, though their UEFA ranking at the time
of the draw was coincidentally also the best.
In the draw procedure, one team from each pot was drawn
into each of the four groups. The draw also determined
which place in the group teams in pots 24 would take
(e.g. A2, A3 or A4) to create the match schedule. With
Poland were automatically assigned in advance to A1, and
Ukraine to D1, Pot 1 only had two teams as Spain and the
Netherlands were to be drawn into position one in either
group B or C.[23][25] The balls were drawn by four former
players who had each been part of European Championship winning teams: Horst Hrubesch, Marco van Basten, Peter Schmeichel and Zinedine Zidane.[26]

Final draw

The draw for the nal tournament took place on 2 December 2011 at the Ukraine Palace of Arts in Kiev,
Ukraine.[20][21] The hour-long ceremony was hosted by
Olga Freimut and Piotr Sobczyski, television presenters
from the two host countries.
As was the case for the 2004 and 2008 nals, the sixteen nalists were divided into four seeding pots, using
the UEFA national team coecient ranking.[22][23] The
pot allocations were based on the UEFA national team
coecient rankings of the sixteen nalists at the end of
the qualifying competition in November 2011.[24] Each

Euro 2008, each of the four groups matches were played
in two stadiums. Host cities Warsaw, Gdask, Wrocaw,
Pozna, Kiev, and Lviv are all popular tourist destinations, unlike Donetsk and Kharkiv, the latter of which
replaced Dnipropetrovsk as a host city in 2009.[27]
In order to meet UEFAs requirement for football infrastructure improvements, ve new stadiums were built and
opened in advance of the tournament. The remaining
three stadiums (in Kiev, Pozna and Kharkiv) underwent
major renovations in order to meet UEFAs infrastructure
standards.[28][29] Three of the stadiums are categorised as
UEFAs highest category stadiums. The transport infrastructure in Poland and Ukraine was also extensively modied on the request of UEFA to cope with the large inux
of football fans.[30]
UEFA organised fan zones in the eight host cities. They
were located in the centre of each city, with all 31 matches
shown live on a total of 24 giant screens. The zones enabled supporters to come together in a secure and controlled environment. The Warsaw Fan Zone occupied
120,000 square meters and accommodated 100,000 visitors. In all, the fans zones had a 20% increase in capacity
compared to Euro 2008.[31]

Ukraine),[44] the national associations chose their locations in 2011. The teams trained and resided in these
locations throughout the tournament, travelling to games
staged away from their bases.[45] Thirteen teams stayed in
Poland and three in Ukraine.[45]

According to UEFA requirements, TP ensured approximately 270 Gbit/sec data communication speed from
Polish stadiums and 2140 Gbit/sec between Poland and
Ukraine. This was required due to the fact that the
matches were broadcast in HD quality.[46] The multilateral production utilised 31 cameras to cover the action on and around the pitch at every match, with additional cameras following activities around the game,
such as team arrivals at the stadiums, interviews, and me3.1 Stadiums

ing March 2011 for the 1.4 million tickets available for
the 31 tournament matches.[40] Over 20,000 were forecast to cross the PolandUkraine border each day during
the tournament.[41] Over 12 million applications were received, which represented a 17% increase on the 2008
nals, and an all-time record for the UEFA European
Championship.[42] Owing to this over-subscription for the
matches, lotteries were carried out to allocate tickets.
Prices varied from 30 (25) (for a seat behind the goals
at a group match) to 600 (513) (for a seat in the main
stand at the nal). In addition to individual match tickets,
fans could buy packages to see either all matches played
by one team, or all matches at one specic venue.[43]

Match ocials

On 20 December 2011, UEFA named twelve referees

and four fourth ocials for Euro 2012.[52] On 27 March
2012, UEFA issued the full list of 80 referees to be used
in Euro 2012, including the assistant referees, the additional assistant referees, and the four reserve assistant
referees.[53] Each refereeing team consisted of ve match
ocials from the same country: one main referee, two
assistant referees, and two additional assistant referees.
All of the main referees, additional assistant referees, and
fourth ocials were FIFA referees, and the assistant referees (including the four reserve assistant referees) were
FIFA assistant referees.[54][55] For each refereeing team,
a third assistant referee from each country was named to
remain on standby until the start of the tournament to take
the place of a colleague if required.[55] In two cases, for
the French and Slovenian refereeing teams, the standby
assistant referees took the place of one of the assistant
referees before the start of the tournament. Continuing the experiments carried out in the UEFA Champions
League and UEFA Europa League, the two additional assistant referees were used on the goal line for the rst time
in European Championship history with approval from
the International Football Association Board.[52]
Final referee; only referee assigned to four
matches.
Four match ocials, who served only as fourth ocials,
and four reserve assistant referees were also named:[52][53]
