UEFA Women´s Euro 2009 in Finland

Finland will host the 2009 Women´s Euro Finals. As it is ladies we are talking about what difference does it make? Well, in Finland everything has something to do everything and this time there is a problem involved.

There are not enough stadiums and some Veikkausliiga teams have to adjust and move away and/or change the fixtures planned. The program for 2009 Veikkausliiga is still to be published.

UEFA also requires some other stadiums and training grounds to be booked exclusively to UEFA Women´s Euro 2009 which means more problems to the teams affected, mainly in Helsinki, Turku and Tampere in August 2009.

Anyway, welcome ladies!
