Countdown

The qualifying matches will be played between 16 August 2006 and 21 November 2007. The draw for the final round will be staged in Lucerne (Switzerland) on 2 December 2007 (four groups with four teams in each, Switzerland will be in Group A and Austria in Group B). Around 100 days before the tournament, in early March 2008, the customary workshop for all the participating teams will be held in Austria and a publicity tour featuring the official mascot and the Henri Delaunay trophy will be launched. In April, the twelve referees will gather in Switzerland for a final training session. The eight stadiums will then be officially handed over to UEFA in early May. The opening match will kick off in Basle at exactly 6 p.m. on 7 June 2008.
