Martin Kallen: the applause for Gdańsk

 

Gdańsk was the first city,that was visited by UEFA EURO 2012 organizational director, Martin Kallen, during his 4 days’ visit in Poland. He was really impressed by the progress of preparations in our city. 

Kallen was accompanied by the representatives of EURO 2012 Poland venture – president Adam Olkowicz and Jakub Mazek. Together, they visited a construction site of the new passenger terminal on Gdańsk airport and they watched a presentation showing the next stage of works on the airport. They also met with a Vice President of Gdańsk, Andrzej Bojanowski.

It is worth to remind, that apart from terminal, the new taxiway and parking places are constructed. All these investments allow to serve 30 operations (starts and landings) per hour, which is very crucial in the context of Gdańsk efforts to organize Euro 2012 quarter-final.  A big traffic on the construction site proved that all the works are being performed and that Gdańsk will be on time. 
The other visited place was the construction site of stadium. Although it is constructed so quickly, the guest from Switzerland was not impressed by this fact. The reason - “There is a special screen in my office connected with cameras showing the construction sites of all stadiums, that is why I know the progress of construction of Gdańsk arena and I am aware that it grows like mushrooms after a rain shower” – was joking Martin Kallen.
During a press briefing, Kallen said that UEFA is determined to have Euro 2012 matches played on four stadiums in Poland and on four in Ukraine. “It is a common project of two countries. We are the partners and we keep our fingers crossed for Ukraine in a more difficult period” – added Adam Olkowicz.
After the evening spent in Gdańsk, the guests went to the other city on the way of their visit – Warsaw.

Team of Macedonia closes the list of "fair play" in 46 place (7.42).

The Fair Play assessments are made by the official UEFA delegates on criteria such as positive play, respect of the opponent, respect of the referee, behavior of the crowd and team officials, as well as cautions and dismissals.

Sweden have won UEFA's Respect Fair Play rankings, based on all UEFA competition matches played at both club and national team levels, from 1 May 2009 to 30 April 2010.Winners Sweden, second-placed Denmark and third-placed Finland will each be granted one additional slot in the first qualifying round of the 2010/11 UEFA Europa League.

If this club has already qualified for a UEFA competition, the second-placed team in the domestic fair play standings may be entered and, should they also have already qualified, the third-placed side would be considered and so forth.It is even possible for a team that has been relegated to the second division to qualify for the UEFA Europa League, as a result of its exemplary conduct during the domestic championship. Only clubs that have received a UEFA licence will be able to participate in the UEFA Europa League.

For the final rankings, only associations having played a minimum of 32 matches are taken into account. This cut-off point is calculated by dividing the total number of UEFA games by the number of national associations.
