Euro 2012

GENEVA — UEFA president Michel Platini will visit Poland and Ukraine in July to check on their preparations for co-hosting the 2012 European Championship.

The two countries have to intensify their efforts over the next few months in order to meet UEFA’s requirements, Platini told a news conference in Geneva on Tuesday.

But “there is no Plan B,” he said, referring to possible alternative venues in case the former eastern bloc states fail to put in place the necessary infrastructure to host the event.

UEFA spokesman William Gaillard said Platini will travel to Poland and Ukraine after Euro 2008, held in Austria and Switzerland in June.

Gaillard said UEFA’s main concern is whether the hotels and transportation networks - including airports, railways and roads - will be sufficient to host the hundreds of thousands of fans expected for the event. (more…)

Jewhen Czerwonenko - the boss of the Ukrainian National Agency for Euro 2012 said on Wednesday, that if works connected with preparation for Euro 2012 in Lvov will not speed up, the role of the host Odessa or Charkow - reserve cities can get.

Visiting Odessa Czerwonenko said this city have great chances to be the host for future finalists of the European championships.

It is already next, after the UEFA representative Matteo Gambuto, statement giving the distinct signal that Lvov can lose the status of the city - host. Let us remind, that a few days ago telling about problems of “different cities” Gambutto meant exactly Lvov. (more…)

The Silesian Marshal’s Office elected the German design office GMP Architekten from Aachen  for the designer of the roof . The agreement with the company was signed on 25 April.

The roof is supposed to be transparent with the openwork structure of the crown. It will cover the auditorium but not grass. Lamp standards will be closed down and new spotlights will be placed beneath the roof. The number of chairs will rise from 47 up to 50 thousands. Structure (leaned against 40 columns) will be raw, from a distance is will remind industrial structures, which are common on the Upper Silesia.

- At the same time architects want to underline its openness. During evening parties the glow of lights still will be over the stadium. We named (temporary) the project “Crown of Silesian” - Grzegorz Sowiński, the engineer of the contract said. (more…)

The Silesian stadium has more and more chances for matches of Euro 2012. Above faults in the stadium a great infrastructure overbalanced. And very object is supposed to be restructured by a renowned company from Germany

Chorzów has great chances for organizing at least one match, and Cracow will be the hotel-tourist back - we managed to confirm such information in a few sources on Wednesday.

Meanwhile less than the month ago seemed, that already everything was wasted. From it, what until now we thought, is our advantage i.e. the modernization of the stadium lasting for fourteen years, experts from UEFA made one of main accusations and they poked out the lack of progress in this matter. They also among others criticized us for the low amount of toilets and lack of permanent eating places. They suggested that hosts of the stadium weren’t able to coordinate modernization works and they advised renting the professional company which would do it. (more…)

The euphoria which gripped Ukraine and Poland on April 18, 2007 after winning the right to host Europe’s football championship, EURO 2012, has come to nothing.

A year after the triumphal hugs and kisses, the two countries’ preparations have progressed so poorly that Football Federation of Ukraine President Hryhoriy Surkis, and Football Federation of Poland President Michal Listkiewicz had to explain the situation in detail to the Union of European Football Association’s executive committee in last March.

The National Agency to Prepare and Host EURO 2012 was established to coordinate all state structures in Ukraine. Its chair, Yevhen Chervonenko, constantly criticizes the Cabinet of Ministers for ignoring his organization’s problems.

“I consider the level of financial support for the Agency by the government to be embarrassing,” he said of the EURO 2012 preparation funding. “The government scoffs not at me (I don’t care — I’m a self-sufficient person), it scoffs at Ukraine,” adding,”I have been spending my own personal money to maintain the agency. The cars, computers in the office – everything was bought with my own money. I have spent and spend without regret.” (more…)

A match-fixing scandal and a complacent attitude towards construction may undermine Poland’s ability to co-host Euro 2012

There is a rumour going around that Poland-Ukraine was awarded the rights to host Euro 2012 only by embittered Lennart Johansson acolytes looking to screw up Michel Platini’s reign. It is, almost certainly, nothing more than mischief-making, and yet there was a strange pause as Platini opened the envelope that could, with hindsight, be construed as horror. On that momentous day in Cardiff, west seemed to offer an arm to east and talk of the football family didn’t seem quite so hopelessly utopian, but since then optimism has withered. There are always scare stories ahead of major events, but recent events in Poland suggest these have more substance than most.

Securing the tournament was Michal Listkiewicz’s finest hour, finer even than running the line in the 1990 World Cup final (a photograph of which still adorns the back of his business card). As the president of the Polish football federation (PZPN) spoke about delivering a great victory for the family of Slavs, it was possible even to forget for a moment that it isn’t just his hair that has appeared to be made of Teflon.

Polish-Ukrainian government contract about the cooperation by common organization of the Football European Championships - Euro 2012 will be signed on 18 April. A minister of sport and tourisms Mirosław Drzewiecki expressed such belief in the published on Saturday conversation with the Kiev weekly “Dzerkało Tyżnia”.

- I would like that the agreement should be signed 18 April, that is year after granting Poland and Ukraine the right to carrying out of finals of the European championships in the football - said. The minister thinks that the intergovernmental agreement about the cooperation in the matter of the organization Euro 2012 should lead to the closer coordination of action of Poland and Ukraine.

Over 100 projects of stay- training centers were proposed in Poland as possible places of the accommodation participating in finals of the football European championships in 2012 teams - a minister of sport and tourisms, Mirosław Drzewiecki informed in the interview for TVN24.

The time of submitting an offer for bases of individual teams is passing on Friday, of 15 February. Drzewiecki said that through two next weeks the commission consisting from workers of the Ministry of Sport and the Polish Association of the football would select the centers, and chosen will be proposed to UEFA. - We will reject the ones which do not fulfill conditions required by the European Football Union. I hope that there will be over 30 for the European federation - said.ry “.

Decision, in which Polish cities matches of Football European Championship 2012will be played, will be taken after making reports on the subject of stadiums and the infrastructure by UEFA - said a director of 2012 PL company Marcin Herra.

Herra met with regional and self-government authorities of Cracow, Katowice and Chorzów on Wednesday. At the beginning of the April an UEFA delegation will come to Poland in order to judge the state of building works of stadiums on Euro 2012. In May an infrastructure report is supposed to be done.

Michel Platini, the head of the European football body UEFA, has warned Euro 2012 co-hosts Ukraine and Poland to speed up their preparations. Neither Ukraine nor Poland has hosted a major championship before, and Platini has stressed his growing concerns over their progress.

“We’ve had to wake them up a little and tell them it’s time to get going,” Platini told French radio France Info on Thursday. “The 2012 Euro will still be held (there), but we’ve told them in the nicest possible way to speed things up a bit.”

Platini first warned the co-hosts back in January, highlighting the importance of the next six months. (more…)

The Ukrainian Minister of Sport, Jurij Pawłenko, claims that in 2008 his country will catch up on the preparation to the EURO 2012. We lost a lot of time; honestly, it was 9 months - said Pawłenko on Saturday during the press conference in Kiev.

The minister thinks that the reconstruction of the Olymic Stadium is the most important task for them. Many times UEFA asserted that the Stadium in Kiev, as the international scene of EURO 2012, does not fulfill the security standard.

The main problem is the shopping centre built near the stadium which strongly impedes the emergency action. We have already known what should be done - said Pawłenko. He explained that the surface part of the shopping centre will be liquidated and the owners get a proper compensation. The compensation will be paid by the authorities of Kiev. Both, Poland and Ukraine got the right to the EURO 2012 coordination.

They were completely shocked that they cannot organize the EURO 2012. Few months later they snapped out of the defeat and  attacked. The Italian want to retake our EURO 2012! Antonio Matarrese, the president of Italian football league has already rocked the boat.

- Poland and Ukraine are undeveloped - said Matarrese during the interview for one of the radio stations. If there is anoter country that supports Italy, we are able to organize the championship - he added.

Matarrese does not want to reveal what country he is talking about. It is presumed that about Croatia which unsuccessfully tried (with Hungary) take the initiative of EURO 2012.
