As reported by Information Center of Ukraine 2012, citing the press service of the League, it’s a bit more than that from the Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland. “The lion’s share of the provisional income estimates for Euro-2012 will be selling media rights – 62% or more than 840 million European currency, and the commercial rights (sponsorship, licensing and merchandising) – 22% or 290 million euros,” – said in a statement.

More medium-class hotels will be built in Poland in preparation for the 2012 European Soccer Championships. Jozef Ratajski from the Polish Tourist Chamber said that the country lacked a sufficient network of rationally priced two and three-star hotels. Andrzej Saja from the Polish Hoteliers’ Economic Chamber pointed out that medium hotel construction would probably be a rising market in coming years. The Championship will certainly be a promotional impulse for Poland, Saja remarked. At the moment there are over 1,320 hotels in Poland. Poland and Ukraine were chosen to co-host […]

вик услугиSource: UEFA Euro 2020 via Facebook Last summer, Portugal shocked the world in the European Championship final as Eder, a relatively unknown quantity on the international stage, scored an injury-time winner to shock host nation France. If truth be told, it wasn’t a memorable tournament – it certainly wasn’t as exciting or entertaining as Euro 2012, held across both Ukraine and Poland.

Gomez and Ronaldo both have three goals, but Gomez is marginally favourite to end up top goalscorer at a top price of 2/1 (bet £1 to win £2) with Boylesports and Blue Square. Mario Gomez’s chances were weakened by being rotated against Greece in the quarter-final, along with Thomas Muller and Lukasz Podolski, but it is though that that […]

Facts and figures ahead of the Euro 2012 group match between the Czech Republic and Poland at the Stadion Miejski in Wroclaw. Czech Republic have won 13 and lost just six of 23 internationals against Poland (including games played as the former Czechoslovakia).

Co-hosts are hoping Borussia Dortmund’s Lukasz Piszczek, Jakub Blaszczykowski and Robert Lewandowsk can reproduce their club success on the international stage It is a paradox of football that the hosts of a tournament can enjoy a low profile. Attention will, of course, soar when Poland take the field against Greece in the opening match of Euro 2012, but Franciszek Smuda’s side can be pleased that they have only provided meagre information for their opponents. The same can be said of the co-hosts Ukraine, yet it is Poland who could be […]

In opinion of Lorenzo Bernardi, Italians and Spaniards are the main favorites of European football championships. “It won’t be easy, but I think that my compatriots will be playing with Spaniards twice – in the group and after that … in the final match,” he said. Italians play in Group C (Gdańsk, Poznań) together with Croatia and Ireland. Bernardi is go-ing to watch the matches on TV and thinks that many Italian fans will come to see the tour-nament live. „I hope, that they will visit not only Poland, but […]
