UEFA president Michel Platini has cast serious doubt over Ukraine's co-hosting of the 2012 European Championships amid ongoing concerns over two stadium projects, renewing speculation that Germany could take its place. Speaking before the European Union in Brussels on 29 March 2010, he urged organisers to speed up the rebuilding of Kiev's 63,000-capacity Olympic stadium, the showpiece venue of Euro 2012. Upgrades to the Olympic Stadium, which is slated to host the final, are more than five months behind schedule. "If there is no Kiev, then no Ukraine," Platini was quoted EPA/ROBERTO TEDESCHI < 뉴스의 새 시대, 연합뉴스 Live >< 모바일 애플리케이션 >< 포토 매거진 >< 저작권자(c)연합뉴스. 무단전재-재배포금지. >
