Euro 2012 decision delayed

A decision on the hosts of the 2012 UEFA European Championship finals has been postponed until April next year.

UEFA's Executive Committee decided to postpone the choice - originally scheduled for this coming December - at its meeting in Ljubljana, Slovenia today. Three candidates, including the forerunners Italy, are bidding to stage the tournament in six years' time. The other contenders are joint bids from Poland and Ukraine, and Hungary and Croatia.

"In the light of experiences in Portugal in 2004, as well as for UEFA Euro 2008, we want to give more time to the candidates that are applying to beef up their dossiers and answer some questions we have that are related to the organisation of the competition," UEFA's communications and public affairs director William Gaillard told uefa.com. "The decision will be taken at the Executive Committee in April 2007."
