UEFA 2012 European Championships Qualifying Draw Released
The UEFA’s biggest international tournament released its qualifying draw on Sunday, February 7, 2010. The tournament is considered by many to be as tough as the World Cup and even better. This is due to the fact that it’s only European countries and the UEFA region is widely regarded as the best in the world. Unlike the World Cup (where there are only 13 teams from UEFA), the Euro’s contain 16 teams who qualify from 9 groups. The winner of each group earns a spot plus four second place teams that win a play-off (similar to World Cup Qualifying). The draw is listed below.
