A draw will take place in Tel Aviv, Israel, next week to determine the fixture schedule for four groups in the UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying competition. The draw will determine the fixture schedule in the four UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying groups where the competing nations have been unable to agree a schedule between themselves, UEFA said on its website.
The draw will be made during the UEFA Congress activities, when all of the UEFA member national associations will be present for Europe’s football parliament on 25 March.
The groups in question are Group B (Russia, Slovakia, Republic of Ireland, FYR Macedonia, Armenia and Andorra), Group F (Croatia, Greece, Israel, Latvia, Georgia and Malta), Group G (England, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Wales and Montenegro) and Group H (Portugal, Denmark, Norway, Cyprus and Iceland).
No agreement was reached in relation to a fixture list for these four groups by the deadline of March 16.
For associations in a group that has been unable to reach agreement, matches will be played according to the standard fixture list. The position of each association in the standard fixture list (A, B, C, D or E for groups of five teams and A, B, C, D, E and F for groups of six teams) will be drawn.
