The stands of the ultra-modern Donbass Arena stadium, built in 2009 in Donetsk, can accommodate 50 thousand spectators. This is the only stadium in the country and Eastern Europe of the "Elite" category, built according to UEFA standards. The stadium is located in the very center of the city. Its silhouette reminds many of an alien spaceship. Surrounded by a park area, the structure resembles a flying saucer that has landed in picturesque bushes.
The championship games will also take place in the arena of Kharkov. After reconstruction, the Metallist stadium can accommodate 38 thousand spectators. Its roof is uniquely designed. It seems to hover over the entire structure, carried out on supports that can withstand an earthquake with an amplitude of 8 points. For such an unusual appearance, the stadium received the nickname "spider".
The city of Lviv also received the right to host Euro 2012 matches. The Arena Lviv stadium will host players and fans. During the construction of this structure, the latest information and construction technologies were used. The stadium takes one of the first places in terms of logistics, visibility and comfort in terms of managing human flows.
The capital of Ukraine is waiting for players and fans for three group stage matches, one of the quarter finals and the final. Kiev will welcome the championship with the reconstructed Olimpiyskiy complex. The changed slope of the lower sectors significantly improves the visibility of the arena. The stands can accommodate 70 thousand spectators. The score will be recorded on a new LED scoreboard. The arena of the complex is distinguished by high-quality coverage, which is maintained in excellent condition thanks to round-the-clock lighting and heating.
In the capital of Poland, three new stadiums have been built and one has been renovated. One of the new arenas will be on the site of an athletics stadium. Its area will be much larger, moreover, new technologies were used during the construction and the covering of the playing field was replaced. A fan zone for fans has been set up in Warsaw. It includes six huge screens, pubs, ATMs, promenades, information desks and medical posts.
Warsaw has pleased with one more innovation. For those who do not go to the championship by car, an underground high-speed train will be launched. It will depart for the first time on June 1 from the underground part of the Chopin Airport and will connect the airport and the National Stadium.
The stadium "PGE Arena" in Gdansk has been renewed and replaced with a new high-quality surface. This stadium has existed for many years, its amber building is the pride of the city. In this arena, it is planned to hold three matches out of six in Group C.
The city of Wroclaw will delight players and fans with a new stadium, built specifically for Euro 2012. Now the stadium is being brought to perfection so that it will fully meet the teams.
Poznan Stadium was reconstructed on the eve of Euro 2012. It was expanded to 45 thousand seats by changing the design of two stands. We also worked on the canopy, which is a membrane covering made of silk. The new type of lighting in the stadium stimulates the growth of lawn grass.
