In Warsaw, three matches of Group A, as well as the games of the quarterfinals and semi-finals, will be hosted by the National Stadium. Its capacity is more than 50,000 people, and thanks to the retractable roof, the football stadium can be converted into a concert hall.

"Arena Gdansk" is smaller in capacity (it is designed for 40,000 people), but much more interesting in design. From a distance, this stadium looks like a huge amber, since several thousand tiles resembling this mineral were used during the construction. Arena Gdansk will host three matches of Group A.

The city stadium in Poznan (Meiski) has a capacity of over 40,000. After the reconstruction, the Meiski stand was completely covered. It will host Group C matches with teams from Croatia, Italy and Ireland.

Three matches of Group A will be held at the forty thousandth city stadium of Wroclaw, Poland, in one of which the teams of the Czech Republic and Russia will meet. It is at this match that the presence of the Czech president is expected, who promised to come to support the national team of his country.

Three matches of Group D, the final and the quarter-final will be hosted by the Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex in Kiev, which is one of the largest stadiums in Europe. After reconstruction, its capacity exceeds 60,000, and a record number of fans exceeded 100,000.

Donbass Arena is the main sports ground for three matches of Group D of the 2012 European Championship in Donetsk. It was completely built with the financial support of Donetsk businessman Rinat Akhmetov. The arena can host about 50,000 fans.

Three matches of group B will be held on the field of the Kharkiv city stadium "Metalist". The central stadium is designed for 35-38 thousand people. It is one of the oldest sports grounds in Ukraine - "Metalist" was built in 1926.

The smallest and youngest football ground for Euro 2012 will be the Arena Lviv. It opened in October 2011 and has a capacity of just over 30,000 fans. This stadium will host three Group B matches.
