As President, Mr Platini is not eligible to vote except in case of a tie.

-No. He voted for Itly, he said it in an interview on Polish TV

Data accuracy

I think the spelling of the name of the stadium in Wrocław should be "Olympic". Also, there is no host club. The stadium is owned by the city, not the speedway team "WTS Atlas".

It should also be pointed out that there won't be six Polish cities hosting the tournament. Currently chosen are: Warsaw, Gdańsk, Poznań and Wrocław. Cracow and Chorzów are just "reserve" venues.

I added a section with the reserve venues mentioned on the official site[1] Willy turner 16:25, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Voting procedure" and "Other candidates" sections should be updated. --81.219.231.40 13:40, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First round votes

The first round of voting was the 3,4,5. So no majority was achieved there. I see someone reverted it, but that is true information. The three then voted over to the other,that gives 8-4. Bazsa 18:55, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And where did you find that info? You could've added it. On every source I saw only a single round with 8-4-0 outcome. Parutakupiu ^{talk || contribs} 20:27, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well during the live Tv coverage, a member of the Hungarian Comitee mentioned this info; and I sawit on a fan-forum, that also named the three members who voted Hungary. But the media and news only mentioned 0 votes, so it's probably false. It can stay this way. Sry for the late reply. Bazsa 15:49, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lviv

Ukraina Stadium is not the arena for Euro 2012 in Lviv, that's just an existing stadium there. The arena used in the Championship will be a newly built stadium. Delete the "Ukraina stadium" link.

It says here[2] that Ukraina is the venue. Willy turner 01:26, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's a mistake, the city council is preparing to allocate new land for the construction of the new stadium. So it cannot be Ukraina stadium.

Yes, that's true. I don't know much about it but all my friends from Lviv have been telling (bragging) me that they are building a new stadium there. Rock on, Bogdan 00:31, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Updating

Okay, as we're after the bidding and the choosing, perhaps the sections on host selection should be removed or spun off into a separate article? --Ouro (blah blah) 05:58, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dates of Euro 2012?

Euro 2012 will have to avoid colliding with the London 2012 Summer Olympics/Paralympic Games (July-September), so almost certainly early summer, but are thes Euro 2012 dates known yet? --Mareklug ^talk 05:59, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, they're not. You can be almost sure it's going to be a June to beginning-of-July event, as usual (compare with Euro 2004 and Euro 2000). --Ouro (blah blah) 06:16, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Greece and Turkey

The current article reads:

   * Flag of Greece Greece (6 votes, eliminated)
   * Flag of Turkey Turkey (2 votes, eliminated)

I may be confused but I think it was Turkey who received 6 votes and Greece was last with 2. One of the archive versions (of 30 March 2006) of the article also says so:

Turkey and Greece were eliminated with 6 and 2 votes respectively.

Would you possibly tell me which of the two is correct? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.36.9.157 (talk • contribs).

Turkey got 6 votes and Greece got 2 votes (source). Parutakupiu ^{talk || contribs} 15:01, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image

Question to experts, would this image be useful? I am sure there would be no problem with copyright. --Irpen 00:47, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's a neat image, but probably too small; if there is a larger version, I think you're right - it can be reasonably uploaded under CC. At any rate, it seems the article right now needs more text than tables and pictures.--Riurik^(discuss) 23:05, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure that the text will come soon, as soon as there will be some developments towards Euro 2012. My question for the experts is, is the image found by Irpen going to be the official logo? If not, where to get it? Is it possible? I will try to find one in a few days, am currently away from my usual place of residence. Cheers, Ouro (blah blah) 16:20, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No. The official logo won't be known probably until next year or 2009. Parutakupiu ^{talk || contribs} 17:19, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mirror Weekly to-do list for EUFA 2012

Mirror Weekly (by Yakub Loginov) wrote a detailed piece "Eurostep towards understanding" on the challenges facing Ukraine and Poland to successfully organize the 2012 UEFA Championship. It may be useful reading material if anyone is interested. At the moment, it is only available in Ukrainian and Russian, but an English version ought to become accessible in the future.--Riurik^(discuss) 23:22, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Third place play-off

Will the losing semifinalists of the Euro 2012 play a third place play-off? --88.77.248.212 14:22, 16 June 2007 (UTC) No (make the answer short) they abandoned the idea several years ago ¢нαzα93 17:00, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

2012 UEFA European Football Championship → UEFA Euro 2012 — Euro 2008 was moved so this shouldn't be too hard — ¢нαzα93 17:00, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss this on Talk:UEFA European Football Championship so as to have one centralized discussion. --Richard 06:03, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not in Poland

I read an article today in the Irish Sunday World newspaper saying that Poland may have to pull out of hosting the tournament due an extreme lack of construction workers to build/improve the stadiums. does anyone know if their is any truth to this?--Irishboi 23:26, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, this is true, a deputy proposed that. But I think it is impossible, UEFA can't let this happen! Probably, Poland and Ukraine will do a beautiful spectacle hosting the UEFA Euro 2012 jointly... (I hope so!) --vonusovef^(wha?) 14:35, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
