Poland and Ukraine to host Euro 2012
Poland and Ukraine have been chosen to host the 2012 European Championships.
Italy was widely expected to win the Uefa vote in Cardiff, with another joint bid from Croatia and Hungary also in the running.
However, Italy's bid was overshadowed by last season's referee corruption scandal and on-going problems with football-related crowd trouble.
It will be the first time that either Poland or Ukraine has hosted a major football championship.

Uefa president Michel Platini said: "Poland and Ukraine are surely a worthy winner. However, there are no losers today, rather only bids that have not won this time round."
