Already tomorrow UEFA is going to make the decision on who will host EURO 2012. In Poznań, Krakow, Warsaw and Wrocław the residents will have the opportunity to follow events unfolding in Cardiff on special telebeams.

The countdown for the decision of the UEFA Executive Committee started in Poznań already on Tuesday.

On that day the city authorities are inviting Poznań residents to the Liberty Square, where they will have the opportunity to watch a live broadcast from Cardiff on a telebeam. If Poland and Ukraine win the competition, the feasting will be continued during and after the league match between Lech Poznań and Pogoń Szczecin.

In Warsaw fans will have the opportunity to watch the broadcast from Wales on a screen to be located in front of the Palace of Culture and Science (on Dramatyczny Theatre side). The city prepared additional surprises for its residents.

The coverage of the selection of the EURO 2012 host will be also shown on Wrocław Market Square.
