The 2008 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as Euro 2008, is the 13th edition of the UEFA European Football Championship, a quadrennial football tournament for European nations. The tournament, which is being hosted by Austria and Switzerland, began on 7 June 2008 and is scheduled to conclude with the final at Ernst Happel Stadion in Vienna on 29 June 2008. It is the second successful joint bid in the competition's history. A total of 16 teams are participating in the tournament. Austria and Switzerland automatically qualified as hosts; the remaining 14 teams were determined through qualifying matches which began in August 2006. The winner of Euro 2008 will qualify for the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup in South Africa.[1] Contents [hide] * 1 Bid process * 2 Venues * 3 New trophy * 4 Qualifying o 4.1 Qualified teams o 4.2 Spain controversy * 5 Seeding * 6 Match officials * 7 Squads * 8 Results o 8.1 Group stage + 8.1.1 Group A + 8.1.2 Group B + 8.1.3 Group C + 8.1.4 Group D o 8.2 Knockout stage + 8.2.1 Quarter-finals + 8.2.2 Semi-finals o 8.3 Final * 9 Statistics o 9.1 Goalscorers * 10 Miscellany o 10.1 Match ball o 10.2 Music o 10.3 Mascots o 10.4 Slogan * 11 Prize money * 12 Broadcasting rights * 13 References * 14 External links Bid process Austria and Switzerland jointly bid to host the games, and faced major competition from Greece/Turkey, Scotland/Ireland, Russia, Hungary, Croatia/Bosnia-Herzegovina and a 4-way Nordic bid from Norway/Sweden/Denmark/Finland. Austria had already bid with another country before, which was Hungary for Euro 2004. They eventually lost to Portugal. Austria/Switzerland, Greece/Turkey, and Hungary were recommended before the final vote. Greece and Turkey were rejected and let Hungary and Austria/Switzerland battle for the win. The Austria/Switzerland bid is the second successful joint bid in the competition's history, following the UEFA Euro 2000 hosted by Belgium and the Netherlands. The 2012 competition in Poland and Ukraine is scheduled to become the third jointly-hosted tournament. Venues The tournament will be played at eight venues throughout the two host nations; four in Austria and four in Switzerland. Each venue has a capacity of at least 30,000 for the tournament; the largest stadium is Ernst Happel Stadion in Vienna with a capacity of 53,295.[2] It is for this reason that Ernst Happel Stadion will host the final. Switzerland will play all of its group stage matches at St. Jakob Park in Basel, which also hosted the opening match of the tournament as a compromise for the final being held in Vienna. Austria will play all of its group stage matches at Ernst Happel Stadion. In 2004, the Zürich venue became a problem for the organisers. Originally, the Hardturm stadium was to be renovated and used as the city's venue, but legal challenges delayed the plan to a point that would not have allowed the ground to be used in 2008. This created a problem, as the agreement between UEFA and the organizers stipulated that four venues would be used in each country. The problem was solved when the organizers proposed renovating Letzigrund instead; UEFA approved the revised plan in January 2005. The Letzigrund stadium hosted its first football match on 23 September 2007.[3] Vienna Klagenfurt Salzburg Innsbruck Ernst Happel Stadion Capacity: 53,295 Hypo-Arena Capacity: 31,957 Wals Siezenheim Stadion Capacity: 31,020 Tivoli Neu Capacity: 31,600 Basel Berne Geneva Zürich St. Jakob-Park Capacity: 42,000 Stade de Suisse Capacity: 31,907 Stade de Genève Capacity: 31,228 Letzigrund Capacity: 30,000 New trophy The new trophy for the UEFA Euro 2008 tournament The new trophy for the UEFA Euro 2008 tournament A new trophy will be awarded to the winners of the Euro 2008 tournament. The new version of the Henri Delaunay Trophy, created by Asprey London,[4] is almost an exact replica of the original designed by Arthus-Bertrand. A small figure juggling a ball on the back of the original has been removed, as has the marble plinth. The silver base of the trophy also had to be enlarged to make it stable. The names of the winning countries that had appeared on the plinth have now been engraved on the back of the trophy, which is made of sterling silver, weighs 8 kilograms (17.6 lb) and is 60 centimetres (24 in) tall. Qualifying Main article: UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying The draw for the qualifying round took place in Montreux, Switzerland on 27 January 2006 at 12:00 CET. The qualifying process commenced a month after the 2006 World Cup. Austria and Switzerland automatically qualified for the tournament finals as host nations. The qualifying format was changed compared to previous tournaments. The winners and runners-up from seven groups automatically qualified for the Championship, with the hosts filling the other two slots in the 16-team tournament. The change means there were no play-offs between teams finishing in second place in the groups—they qualified directly for the finals. Teams that finished in third place didn't have any further opportunity to qualify. Six of the qualifying groups contained seven teams, and the other, Group A, contained eight.

As was the case at the 2000 and 2004 finals, the finalists were divided into four seeding pots, based on average points per game in the qualifying phases of the 2006 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2008, with each group having one team from each pot. Switzerland and Austria, as co-hosts, and Greece, as defending champions, were seeded first automatically.[7][8] The Netherlands were seeded based on their UEFA coefficient in the Euro 2008 finalists ranking.

Teams in groups A and B will be separated from teams in groups C and D until the final. This increases the chance of a group fixture being replayed in the knockout stage, and renders impossible a final between two teams drawn in the same half of the tournament. Also, in another major change, for the first time in a European Championship, only two venues (St. Jakob-Park, Basel and Ernst Happel Stadion, Vienna—the two largest of the eight stadiums used) will be used for the seven matches in the knockout stage of the tournament.[13] Quarter-finals Semi-finals Final 19 June - Basel Flag of Portugal Portugal 25 June - Basel Runner-up Group B Winner of QF1 20 June - Vienna Winner of QF2 Flag of Croatia Croatia 29 June - Vienna Runner-up Group A Winner of SF1 21 June - Basel Winner of SF2 Winner Group C 26 June - Vienna Runner-up Group D Winner of QF3 22 June - Vienna Winner of QF4 Winner Group D Runner-up Group C Quarter-finals 2008-06-19 20:45 Portugal Flag of Portugal v Runner-up of Group B St. Jakob-Park, Basel 2008-06-20 20:45 Croatia Flag of Croatia v Runner-up of Group A Ernst Happel Stadion, Vienna 2008-06-21 20:45 Winner of Group C v Runner-up of Group D St. Jakob-Park, Basel 2008-06-22 20:45 Winner of Group D v Runner-up of Group C Ernst Happel Stadion, Vienna Semi-finals 2008-06-25 20:45 Winner of Quarter-final 1 v Winner of Quarter-final 2 St. Jakob-Park, Basel 2008-06-26 20:45 Winner of Quarter-final 3 v Winner of Quarter-final 4 Ernst Happel Stadion, Vienna Final Main article: UEFA Euro 2008 Final 2008-06-29 20:45 Winner of Semi-final 1 v Winner of Semi-final 2 Ernst Happel Stadion, Vienna Statistics Goalscorers 3 goals * Flag of Germany Lukas Podolski * Flag of Spain David Villa 1 goal * Flag of Austria Ivica Vastić * Flag of Croatia Luka Modrić * Flag of Croatia Darijo Srna * Flag of Croatia Ivica Olić * Flag of the Czech Republic Libor Sionko * Flag of the Czech Republic Václav Svěrkoš * Flag of the Netherlands Giovanni van Bronckhorst * Flag of the Netherlands Ruud van Nistelrooy * Flag of the Netherlands Wesley Sneijder * Flag of Poland Roger Guerreiro * Flag of Portugal Deco * Flag of Portugal Raul Meireles * Flag of Portugal Pepe * Flag of Portugal Ricardo Quaresma * Flag of Portugal Cristiano Ronaldo * Flag of Russia Roman Pavlyuchenko * Flag of Spain Cesc Fàbregas * Flag of Sweden Petter Hansson * Flag of Sweden Zlatan Ibrahimović * Flag of Switzerland Hakan Yakin * Flag of Turkey Semih Şentürk * Flag of Turkey Arda Turan Miscellany Main article: UEFA Euro 2008 miscellany Match ball The official ball for the UEFA Euro 2008 matches The official ball for the UEFA Euro 2008 matches The match ball for the finals was unveiled at the draw ceremony. Produced by Adidas and named the Europass, it is a 14-panel ball in the same construction as the Teamgeist, but with a modified surface design.[14] A version named the Europass Gloria will be used in the final.[15] There have been concerns raised about the match ball because it deviates so much in flight, making it difficult to judge for goalkeepers. Notable players to criticise are Germany's Jens Lehmann and the Czech Republic's Petr Čech.[16] Music The official Euro 2008 song is "Can You Hear Me" by Enrique Iglesias. It will be performed live as part of the official closing ceremony after the final in Ernst Happel Stadion in Vienna on June 29. "Can You Hear Me" was written by Enrique Iglesias, Steve Morales and Frankie Storm, recorded at Circle House Studios in Miami and produced by Big Ben Diehl and Carlos Pacuar. It is 3 minutes and 44 seconds in length. The music video, directed by Paul Minor, features football tricks. As well as the official song, two soundtracks, "Like a Superstar" and "Feel the Rush", have been recorded by Jamaican reggae artist Shaggy as mascot songs for Euro 2008. They form a musical background to video clips featuring the twin mascots Trix and Flix. The official Swiss song for the tournament is a new version of "Bring en hei" by Baschi,[17] Christina Stürmer sings the official tournament song of Austrian ÖFB, "Fieber" (Fever).[18] Croatia manager, Slaven Bilić has recorded his country's official Euro 2008 song, "Vatreno ludilo" ("Fiery Madness"), with his rock group, Rawbau. Mascots The two official mascots for UEFA Euro 2008, were named after a vote from the public of the two host nations, the options were: * Zigi and Zagi * Flitz and Bitz * Trix and Flix After receiving 36.3% of the vote, Trix and Flix were chosen. "I am sure the mascots and their names will become a vital part of the understanding of the whole event," said Christian Mutschler, who is the tournament director for Switzerland.[19] Slogan The slogan for UEFA Euro 2008 was chosen on 24 January 2007: Expect Emotions. The UEFA President Michel Platini stated "It describes in a nutshell what the UEFA Euro 2008 has to offer: all kinds of emotions—joy, disappointment, relief or high tension—right up to the final whistle."[20] Prize money UEFA announced that total of €184 million has been offered to the 16 teams competing in this tournament, increasing from €129 million in the previous tournament. The distributions as below:[21] * Participating fee: €7.5 million Extra payment based on teams performances: * Group stage (per match): o Win: €1 million o Draw: €500,000 * Quarter-finals: €2 million * Semi-finals: €3 million * Runner-up: €4.5 million * Winner: €7.5 million If the winner of the tournament wins all three matches in the group stage, they will receive a total prize of €23 million.
