Andriy Shevchenko - FC "Chelsea" (London)

If Ukraine together with Poland gets the right to host the European championship EURO 2012, it will lead to a great burst of economical development of our country. It is a big deal! We are competing with Italy, as well as Hungary and Croatia. Everything will depend on how well prepared our Bid documentation is, and how actively authorities will participate іn the tender, as well as which guarantees they will give concerning the project implementation. I know that Football Federation of Ukraine has been actively fighting and has done a great job in preparation for the tender. As far as I know, our Bid has already been successfully presented at the UEFA Congress. Let’s hope that it will be namely us, who receive this prestigious right to host EURO 2012.
