The 2012 European soccer championship that will be held in Poland and Ukraine from June 8, through July 1, were previewed last week in Poland.  On display was the Henri Delaunay Cup along with EURO 2012 mascots Slavek and Slavko.  Music, contests and all around enthusiasm was part of the showcase.  The Henri Delaunay trophy is named after the first secretary-general of the Union of European Football Associations.

“Everywhere I went in Poland I sensed the growing excitement.  I am sure the Euro 2012 will be a huge and fantastic event for Poland.  This trophy tour is a sign that the tournament is very close,” said legendary Polish soccer star Andrzej Szarmach.
