Poland Will Not Be Sole Euro 2012 Host

UEFA has rejected suggestions that Poland is being lined up as the sole host of the 2012 European Championships with Ukraine falling behind on its construction deadlines.

Local press reports in Ukraine had stated that if the stadiums were not built on time, Poland would be the sole host of the tournament.

However UEFA spokesperson William Gaillard said that such a move was not a consideration although the governing body has previously stated that if Ukraine or Poland fell behind in the construction of their venues, the tournament may be taken away from both of them.

Polish sports minister Miroslaw Drzewiecki said that he will do everything in his power to make sure the joint hosting between Poland and Ukraine goes smoothly.

There were rumours last month that Poland may be looking to Germany to co-host the event, if Ukraine continued to fall behind.
