All together four cities; Warsaw, Gdańsk, Wrocław and Poznań
had the honor to facilitate the European Football Championship in Poland. After
the Polish-Ukrainian joint bid winning the bidding contest among;
Croatia–Hungary, Greece, Italy, Poland–Ukraine and Turkey, Warsaw had the main
focus regarding state investments in Poland.
State investments in connection with the UEFA
European Championship 2012
in Warsaw included; the entire refurbishment of the
Eastern Train Station and modernization of the Central Railway Station, establishment
of a security headquarter, renovation of the runways of Chopin airport and establishment
of a new railway line to link the airport to the city center; the convenient
journey takes around 25 minutes. Furthermore, a National Sports
Center has been built and
a faster and quieter streetcar line will be completely installed by December in
the capital.
Warsaw is not just famous for being one of
the host cities of the European Football Championship in 2012, but also has
been elected, well before, in 2008 as the European Capital of Sport.
There are many sport centers all around the
city, but we can find luxurious tennis courts and golf-courses as well. For
winter sport lovers there is an all year ski slope available, Górka
Szczęśliwicka, and there are both in and outdoor ice rinks as well, for
instance, Stegny or the Torwar Arena. Both can be found in Mokotów district.

Mokotów is also a seat to many embassies and
foreign companies. Służewiec neighborhood of Mokotów gives place to the horse
racetrack.

The best swimming pool of the city is Wodny
Park Warszawianka, equipped with an Olympic-sized swimming pool, waterslides
and among many other facilities, a snow room!
Although, the championship has come to an end,
life has not ended in the Polish capital. In fact, it gave an extra boost to the
development of the city and Warsaw
will continue to be present in front of international audiences in the future
too; namely, as a candidate for European Capital of Culture in 2016.
