KIEV, Aug. 29 - Ukraine and Poland will be ready to host the UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) European Football Championship in 2012, said UEFA President Michel Platini.

"We have been in intense preparations for the Euro 2012. There have been some difficulties, but everything will be good at the 2012 European Championship in Ukraine and Poland. We had asked for stadiums to be ready two years before the tournament, but this is not always possible. This is very hard work. Everything will be done on time," he told a press conference in Monaco, according to the Ukraine-2012 information center.
