It takes place in Poland and Ukraine of June 8 at first is July 2012. The opening match is played out in the brand new National Stade in Warsaw in Poland and the final takes place at the kyiv Olympic stadium in Ukraine. He is the last European championship putting sixteen teams in opposition. Indeed, that of 2016 is played with twenty-four teams [ first ] . It is the first senior international tournament to include five -way arbitration, previously tested during the Europa League and the Champions League [ 2 ] . All the former victors of the competition are present [ 3 ] , including Spain which, victorious 4-0 of Italy in the final [ 4 ] , is the first team managing to keep its title, and achieves an unprecedented triple ( Euro 2008 – 2010 World Cup – Euro 2012 ). Spain being doubly qualified for the 2013 Confederations Cup by its final victories at the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012, Italy receives an invitation for this competition thanks to its place as finalist from Euro 2012 [ 5 ] . Five candidates were initially submitted, including a total of seven countries (including two duos) [ 6 ] . The November 8, 2005 , Italy obtained eleven votes, and accessed the second phase, just like the Croatia and Hungary duo (nine voices) and the Duo Poland and Ukraine (seven votes). The Turkish candidacy, with one less vote, was eliminated. The Greek, with two voices, arrived in the last place of the ballot. The May 31, 2006 , the files of the three candidates for the euro were made. In September, UEFA examined by going there the inventory. THE April 18, 2007 In Cardiff, in Wales, the UEFA Executive Committee made its choice of secret ballots, after having scrupulously studied the files of the three candidates in the running for the organization of the competition. With a majority of eight votes, the Duo Poland \/ Ukraine was chosen before Italy [ 7 ] , that the media gave favorite [ 8 ] , and the Croatia \/ Hungary duo.  Euro 2012 host cities It is the third time in history that a European football championship has been organized by two countries, after the recent Duos Belgium – Netherlands, in 2000, and Switzerland – Austria, in 2008. But this choice poses A major problem, the important distance between stages. Indeed, a thousand nine hundred kilometers separate Gda\u0144sk in Donetsk Poland in Ukraine, and no less than twenty-two hours of road are necessary to get from one to the other city. The two countries also had to embark on a large transport planning program, the number of highways and fast tracks in these two countries being at the time of the allocation of this insufficient euro. Indeed, only six hundred and sixty kilometers of highways and three hundred and forty of fast tracks existed in Poland (in comparison with the thousand kilometers highway in Czech Republic [ 9 ] , much smaller country), the observation being the same in Ukraine. And even if the forecast figures are interesting and ambitious at the start of the work, the general condition of the road networks and highway in Poland and Ukraine always leaves something to be desired [ 9 ] . Another big problem remains, the dilapidation of stages in these two countries, which have delayed renovating their speakers. Initially, the various renovations and constructions were to be completed in 2010, but several delays were noted throughout the work and on different sites in the two countries. National Warsaw Stadium Stade Municipal Poznament Stade Municipal de Wroclaw Uncertainties linked to the delay concerning infrastructure [ modifier | Modifier and code ] Several concerns have enamelled the various projects to improve Polish and Ukrainian infrastructure, leading to the question on a probable replacement of the host countries. THE January 30, 2008 , the president of UEFA Michel Platini announces to start a report to warn the organizers given the slowness of the work. On June 11, the Ukrainian Prime Minister, Ioulia Tymochenko, was confident towards the preparations which according to her normally happen [ ten ] . However, a member of the Ukrainian Football Federation exhibits the day following the fact that Ukraine could lose the right to co -author the event, due to the delays in the renovation of the Kiev Olympic Stadium [ 11 ] . Michel Platini therefore confirms that a decision will be made in September 2008. Until the month of June, no “plan B” is planned according to UEFA. It is therefore some time later that Scotland reaffirms its desires to intervene to help these two countries, and why not in the event of failure to host competition [ twelfth ] . The president of the Scottish Football Association Gordon Smith said he wanted UEFA to reconsider his country to unlock the situation, despite the firm and maintained opinions of the European association. Platini chooses to clarify the situation, and declares: “We will do everything in their power to make Poland and Ukraine can welcome Euro 2012. The only reason that would push us not to go would be the absence of a stadium in Warsaw and Kiev. A delegation will go to Poland and Ukraine on July 2 and 3. We will meet those responsible for the two countries to get an overview and make a decision in September. We have given this challenge to these nations, and there has never been a rescue plan. \u00bb\u00bb If the September decision is pessimistic, UEFA will begin to speak with possible substitutes. Poland, ahead of its Ukrainian neighbor, could host the competition alone. Spain, which was failed in 2004, is also on the ranks. Applications eliminated for this euro, like that of Italy and that of Scotland and Ireland, could also serve in the event of Ukrainian Polono failure [ 13 ] . Poland could also join Germany [ 13 ] . After the first visit of European leaders in Poland, UEFA is satisfied and reassured [ 14 ] . But on September 29, the Polish government resulted from its functions Micha\u0142 Listkiewicz, president of the Polish Football Federation and coordinator of the Euro file group [ 15 ] . UEFA quickly fixes an ultimatum, and is ready to ban Poland from playing its next two qualification matches. Everything finally returns to normal a few days later [ 16 ] . On October 31, the financial crisis that strikes Ukraine called into question the country’s capacity to organize Euro 2012, since many constructions were stopped due to the lack of liquidity. Grzegorz Lato, the new boss of the PZPN, suggests that Poland coorganizes the test with Germany. “I think Germany can come, if Ukraine leaves” , he said on Polish TV TV TVN24. He then added: “I think Ukraine will be ready in time” [ 17 ] .  This year 2008, which saw many problems concerning the organization of the competition, ends against the backdrop of crisis in the two countries. On the Ukrainian side, the government decides, like its Polish counterpart, to change the office responsible for taking care of the preparation, judging the ineffective agency [ 18 ] . A UEFA emissary, the French Jacques Lambert, is therefore sent to Ukraine, to secure the preparation of the Euro [ 19 ] . In Poland, corruption affairs are resurfaced. Several members of the Federation are arrested, including Janusz Wojcik, former Polish coach, and Zdzislaw Krecina, candidate for the federation president [ 20 ] . For his first visit to 2009 in Poland, the Secretary General of UEFA David Taylor admits that the deadlines are respected, certain projects being even ahead. Towards the middle of April, the progress of the work is officially evaluated by President Michel Platini, who, while visiting the various sites for several days, announces the 15 that he is Impossible that Ukraine will lose Euro 2012, like Poland [ 21 ] .  Michel Platini visiting Wroc\u0142aw, July 27, 2009 On May 13 in Bucharest, the UEFA Executive Committee made a decision concerning the final choice of Polish and Ukrainian cities that will host Euro 2012 matches [ 22 ] . As expected, Gda\u0144sk, Pozna\u0144, Warsaw and Wroc\u0142aw are chosen as Polish host cities, Chorz\u00f3w and Krakow being therefore retained as host cities or reserve cities. In the neighbor, UEFA analysis has revealed significant gaps concerning infrastructure in all cities. Kiev is therefore the only confirmed city for Euro 2012, but the holding of the final in the capital is for the moment, and until a next report scheduled for November 30, unofficialized. For other Ukrainian cities, UEFA will be decided on the same date as for kyiv. In addition, Dniepropetrovsk and Odessa were excluded from the competition, not respecting, according to the European association, the criteria [ 23 ] . According to a secret UEFA report, the city of Lviv should even lose the holding of the competition in its stadium, the construction of it being at a standstill [ 24 ] . On December 11, the UEFA Executive Committee, brought together in Madeira, revealed its reports in the four Ukrainian cities. kyiv will welcome the final, and Donetsk, Kharkiv and Lviv three hen matches each. Nevertheless, the designation of the Ukrainian cities responsible for hosting direct elimination matches will be taken later [ 25 ] . The 25 mars 2010 , Platini \u00ab decides to hit the table on the table “Regarding the Ukrainian situation, and” To ask questions To the new President Viktor Ianoukovytch. Indeed, the renovation of the kyiv stadium accuses five months late, and the construction of the new Lviv stadium has just started [ 26 ] . But in June, the UEFA steering committee formalized the Euro holding in the four Ukrainian cities planned [ 27 ] . Logo [ modifier | Modifier and code ]  The tournament logo is unveiled on December 14, 2009 in kyiv’s Mykhailivska Square [ 28 ] .The logo, typical of the cut -out (Traditional art of cutting of colored paper that is practiced in certain rural regions of Poland and Ukraine in homage to local fauna and flora), represents with the two flowers the two organizing countries, gathered by a common passion Competition, designed here by the central ball and the characters raising their arms as a sign of victory in the three elements. These two elements illuminated in turn and for two days the most famous buildings of the eight host cities, from December 14 to 22, with the assistance of the Swiss artist Gerry Hofstetter [ 29 ] . These buildings are as follows: the Ukraine Hotel in Kiev, the Palais de la culture et de la science de Varsovie, the Donetsk solovianenko opera, the Gda\u0144sk Green Porte, the Nadra Bank of Kharkiv, the Ch\u00e2teau Center Culturel de Pozna\u0144 , the WBK Bank BZ of Wroc\u0142aw and the Krouchelnytska opera of Lviv.

The next day, they made their first releases in a stadium, before the friendly match of Poland against C\u00f4te d’Ivoire in Pozna\u0144, and that of Ukraine against Switzerland in Geneva [ 38 ] . Not yet named, UEFA involves Internet users for the second time, who have the choice between three duos of names, and can vote until December 3 [ 37 ] .

Buyers will have the choice between individual tickets or grouped tickets for a series of matches, for each of the sixteen participating teams. In addition, some tickets will be reserved for visually impaired supporters or in a wheelchair requiring a guide [ 43 ] , as well as the population of host cities.

Four days later, the classification rebalances with the victory of the Czechs over Greece and the draw between Polish and Russians. During the third day, the four teams can qualify by winning their match, which the Czech Republic is doing, which eliminates one of the host countries, and more surprising Greece which eliminates Russia, however considered as one of the outsiders of this competition. It is the first time in the history of the euro that a team has finished first in their group with a negative goal difference [ 77 ] . In the World Cup, this fact had already occurred with Cameroon, in 1990 [ 78 ] , and there again Russia (then USSR) was involved. Group B [ modifier | Modifier and code ]   Qualified team  Before the start of the competition, this group is considered by the media as the “group of death”, both on paper and the results of recent years.
