England have been named in the second group of seeds for the Euro 2012 finals draw, with the Republic of Ireland in pot four. Reigning world and European champions Spain are in the top group of seeds, alongside the Netherlands and co-hosts Poland and Ukraine.

Forty per cent of the seeding for the finals is decided by the teams' respective qualifying record, with the same amount based on their performance in World Cup 2010 qualifying and finals and the remainder on their performance in Euro 2008.

In early 2009 UEFA appointed Sportsworld’s parent company, TUI Travel plc, as the UEFA EURO 2012™ Official Accommodation Agency for Poland and Ukraine. TUI Travel plc is the world’s leading international leisure travel group with dedicated offices within both host countries.
