Watch Euro 2012 live. The final tournament will be hosted by Poland and Ukraine between 8 June and 1 July 2012. It is the first time that either nation has hosted the tournament. This bid was chosen by UEFA's Executive Committee in 2007.



Euro 2012 live stream. The final tournament features 16 nations, the last European Championship to do so (from Euro 2016 onward, there will be 24 finalists). Qualification was contested by 51 nations between August 2010 and November 2011 to join the two host nations in the tournament.



The winner of the tournament gains automatic entry to the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup hosted by Brazil.



The joint Poland–Ukraine bid was chosen by a vote of the UEFA Executive Committee at a meeting in Cardiff on 18 April 2007, defeating both Italy and a Croatia–Hungary bid.



Roy Hodgson and his England players arrived in Krakow with the Football Association chairman, David Bernstein, insisting Rio Ferdinand's grievances were now a "historical, extraneous issue" but no sign of the controversy relenting as another anti-racism group questioned the defender's treatment.



Bernstein said he would wait until the end of the tournament before addressing the reasons why Ferdinand was left out and voiced concerns that the row about Martin Kelly's call-up was threatening to have ramifications in the form of adversely affecting the Liverpool defender.



The treatment of Ferdinand has already caused dismay within Kick It Out and the Manchester United player has also received backing from Show Racism The Red Card. "We support Rio and his agent," the founder, Ged Grebby, said. "No disrespect to Martin Kelly but to leave out someone with 81 England caps who has played without injury for Manchester United since January is strange."



Bernstein, however, would not comment on the specific allegation that Ferdinand had been left out purely because John Terry is to stand trial on 9 July charged with racially abusing Ferdinand's younger brother, Anton – a charge the Chelsea player denies.



The stadia are breathtaking. Five of the eight on show during the tournament are brand new, and the existing venues in Kiev, Donetsk and Kharkiv have undergone major developments.



The 50,000-capacity, newly-constructed National Stadium in Warsaw will host the opening game between Poland and Greece.



Kiev's 60,000-capacity Olympic Stadium, which began life in 1923 as the Red Stadium of Lev Trotsky and hosted games during the 1980 Moscow Olympics, has been completely renovated with a new transparent roof and will host the final on July 1.



Juventus president Andrea Agnelli gave his full support to Conte and Bonucci. He said: "Conte will be Juventus manager next year. We are beside him and beside Bonucci as well."



Yesterday's developments, which included 14 arrests and the search of 31 homes, are the latest stage in Operation Last Bet, an investigation that has so far seen two former Italian internationals, Cristiano Doni and Beppe Signori, arrested and banned. The focus has largely been on Serie B but a police spokesperson yesterday indicated that there are questions over a couple of top-flight games, particularly Lazio against Genoa and Lazio against Lecce in season 2010/11. Earlier this month the Italian football federation released a 48-page document naming 22 clubs and 61 people who have been reported to police over match-fixing.



Police have also arrested five Hungarians with links to south-east Asian criminal syndicates.



Eaton left Fifa this month to join the Qatar-based International Center for Sport Security as its director of sport integrity. A former Interpol officer, the Australian joined Fifa ahead of the 2010 World Cup finals and then oversaw the governing body's first concerted drive to tackle match-fixing.



"It has taken a long time for international football to appreciate the gravity and global scale of the problem," said Eaton. "[But] take comfort in these investigations and exposures. The environment is now informed and ready to tackle this problem."
