Ukraine is unveiling its 33,000-seat stadium in the western city of Lviv which will host matches for the 2012 European Championship.

Ukraine, co-hosting the championship with neighboring Poland, has struggled to stay on schedule for the prestigious football tournament, starting June 8.

UEFA President Michel Platini expressed confidence in September that Ukraine will host a ''beautiful Euro'' despite ''some little problems,'' which included finishing the roof at the Lviv stadium.

Kiev, Donetsk and Kharkiv are the other three Ukraine cities hosting matches along with four cities in neighboring Poland.
