CARDIFF, Wales - The next Europian championship in 2012 will be co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine.
The decision was taken by 12 members of UEFA's executive committee meeting in Cardiff.
UEFA overlooked favourites Italy, and a joint bid from Croatia and Hungary. Italy's bid was overshadowed by last season's referee corruption scandal and their on-going problems with football hooliganism.
