The 2012 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as Euro 2012, will be the 14th European Championship for national
football teams sanctioned by UEFA. The final tournament will be hosted by Poland and Ukraine between 8th June and 1st July 2012.
The joint Poland/Ukraine bid was chosen by UEFA's Executive Committee on 18th April 2007, in Cardiff, Wales. This bid defeated the other shortlisted bids from Italy and Croatia/Hungary, becoming the third successful joint bid for the European Championship, after those of Belgium/Netherlands

This will be the last European Championship finals in which only 16 nations will participate, with Euro 2016 being the first European Championship
finals with 24 competing nations. Qualification for the final tournament will be staged between September 2010 and November 2011.
