Germany, Hungary could step in for 2012

UEFA president Michel Platini has admitted that Germany or Hungary could be asked to provide venues for the Euro 2012 if Ukraine fails to show progress by the end of this month.

The country was given a deadline by Platini last month to show it can step up preparations in its four venues and co-host the event with Poland, which will provide the same number of stadiums.

“An option could be to have six venues in Poland. Maybe UEFA could also ask Hungary or Germany if they could or would want to jump in with two stadiums,” the Frenchman told the German Football Federation website.

However, Platini stressed that he still believes Ukraine “will complete all the necessary work on time”.
