UEFA have been forced to give then country until the 30 November to show signs up significant development for the tournament with the completion of stadiums, accommodation and transport links all have a long way to go.
Celebrations after winning the honour of hosting the tournament were massive and the tournament has the public right behind it. Shakhtar are the company building the brand new stadium in Donetsk which is set to have a capacity of 50,000. The building of the stadium is said to be on top for the tournament however the infrastructure around it including road, airports, hotels and parking are lagging far behind.
