The 2008 European Football Championship Finals - played in
Austria and Switzerland, from June 7th to June 29th.
The Draw
The chosen cities in Austria (Innsbruck,
Klagenfurt, Salzburg and Vienna) and Switzerland (Basle, Berne, Geneva and Zurich)
will each host three group stage matches.
Basle and Vienna will then host two quarter-finals matches each and a
semi-final; with the final two teams playing in Vienna's Ernst-Happel Stadion.
Austria will play all their Group B games in
Vienna and Switzerland will play all their Group A games in
Basle.
Group A
Played in Basle (Switzerland's home base) and Geneva.
Group B
Played in Vienna (Austria's home base) and Klagenfurt.
Group C
Played in Berne (Holland's home base) and Zurich.
Group D
Played in Innsbruck and Salzburg (Greece's home base).
As the winners and runners-up of groups A and B will meet in the
quarter-finals and again in the semi-finals, there's no way Austria and Switzerland can
meet in the final.
We can therefore already determine that the final match will be:
(Team from Group A or Group B) vs (Team from Group C or Group D).
