The 2012 European Championships in Poland & Ukraine will be held June 8 to July 1, 2012.
The Euro 2012 venue stadiums in Poland and Ukraine are:
Poland Venue Stadiums
Warsaw - National Stadium (Stadion Narodowy) capacity 55,920. With a capacity in excess of 55,000, the National Stadium will be the venue for the opening group match of Euro 2012 as well as further group matches and a quarter-final and semi-final. Meanwhile, afterwards it will become the home of the Polish national team.
Gdansk - PGE Arena capacity 44,000. Along with the new stadiums in Warsaw and Wroclaw, the PGE Arena in the northern seaport of Gdansk is the second of Poland's brand new stadia built in preparation for hosting Euro 2012 with Ukraine. Located just a goal kick away from the Baltic coastline in northern Poland, the development of the 40,000 capacity state-of-the-art facility is playing a massive role in the city's rejuvenation of its waterfront area. The stadium was also the venue for the 2021 Europa League Final between Manchester United and Villareal.
Wroclaw - Maslice Stadium capacity 42,771. The brand new €190 million development in Wroclaw on the banks of the Sleza River is billed as the most technological and innovative design of the eight stadia to be used across Poland and Ukraine during Euro 2012.
Poznan - Municipal Stadium capacity 45,830. Although the only stadium of Poland's foursome for Euro 2012 that has been refurbished as opposed to rebuilt, the grand Municipal Stadium in Poznan is the 5th-largest stadium in Poland and the home ground of Lech Poznan.
Ukraine Venue Stadiums
Kiev - Olimpic National Sports Complex Stadium capacity 69,000. The Olympic National Sports Complex, also known as NSC Olimpiyskiy, is Ukraine's premier sports venue, located in the heart of Kyiv. With a seating capacity of around 70,000, it ranks among the largest stadiums in Eastern Europe. It serves as the home ground for FC Dynamo Kyiv, the Ukraine national football team. The stadium's modern design features a distinctive roof structure and state-of-the-art facilities.
Lviv - Lviv New Stadium capacity 33,500. Opened on October 29, 2011, it was constructed to host matches during UEFA Euro 2012 and has since served as the home ground for FC Lviv and Rukh Lviv, as well as a temporary venue for Shakhtar Donetsk due to the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
Kharkiv - Metalist Stadium capacity 41,400. Like Kiev's Olimpic National Sports Complex Stadium, the origin of Kharkiv's Metalist Stadium dates back to the 1920s. It was on the site of the current arena that a new stadium known as 'Traktor' opened in September 1926, with a modest capacity of 10,000. Throughout its history, the stadium has undergone four major renovations in 1967, 1974 and 1998, which has seen the size of the ground grow. The most recent upgrade of facilities was completed in December 2009, with a new East Stand raising the capacity of the ground to 41,400.
Donetsk - Donbass Arena (Donbas Arena) capacity 51,500. Designed by ArupSport and constructed by Turkish company ENKA, it served as the home ground for FC Shakhtar Donetsk. However, due to the conflict in the Donbas region, the stadium was closed in 2014 after sustaining significant damage from shelling.
