The dates in detail: Germany will play Poland on 8 June (20:45), Croatia will play Germany on 12 June (18:00) and the match between Poland and Croatia will be on 16 June (20:45). In the course of the next few days all the information on this website will also be made available in the languages of the countries whose teams will play at the new EURO stadium in Klagenfurt. The Klagenfurt delegation was particularly pleased to see that Germany, a country of high importance for Carinthia in terms of tourism and economy, will compete in Klagenfurt. "The recent renaming of our city (from Klagenfurt to Klagenfurt am Wörthersee) is now gaining even more importance", said Scheucher. The city is twinned with three German towns - Wiesbaden, Dessau and Dachau - and with Rzeszow in Poland, and these contacts will now be used for the EURO 08.

Vice-Mayor Walter Zwick, Klagenfurt's city councillor for tourism is also very pleased about the outcome of the draw and comes to the following conclusion: "Germany is our most important market in tourism and it's great that Germany will play in Klagenfurt. Poland is definitely a market of the future and Croatia will become important for Carinthian winter tourism."

The chairman of the Klagenfurt organisation committee is happy about the draw. "Matches such as Germany playing Poland are showdowns we are really happy about. Preparations will start right away, because now we are able to tailor all measures to the countries and individual matches."

Reiner Calmund, Klagenfurt's EURO ambassador, is very enthusiastic: "Last week, I wrote in a commentary that I would like to show the German trainer the most beautiful stadium of the Championship, the most beautiful lake and the best restaurants. Great that I will now really be able to do that. Klagenfurt can be delighted. Germany will play here twice, and Poland and Croatia are simply excellent teams." The delegation from Klagenfurt was very impressed about the emotional setting of the drawing event and invites the countries playing in Carinthia to visit the host city Klagenfurt also before the European Football Championship.
