Background

The fourteenth European Championship Finals were awarded to Poland~Ukraine on 18 April 2007 at the UEFA Executive Committee meeting in Cardiff, postponed from 8 December 2006.

 There were five initial representations bidding for the right to host the 2012 Tournament, however, on 8 November 2005, UEFA shortened that list to three following a series of votes. The separate bids from Turkey and Greece were the countries eliminated.

Poland-Ukraine won the only round of voting with eight of the twelve votes. Italy received four, whilst Croatia-Hungary received none.

The Draw

The Final Draw for the 2012 European Championships took place on 2 December 2011 at the Ukraine Palace of Arts in Kyiv.
