Poland and Ukraine won the bid to host Euro 2012 over five years ago. But with the tournament now just days away, questions are being raised被提出 about both player and fan safety.
Footage影片 of matches in both host nations in recent months shows Nazi salutes from the terraces, black players being taunted嘲弄 with monkey chants聖歌 and in Ukraine, a vicious惡毒, 邪惡 assault突擊, 進攻 on a group of Asian students.
The attack happened in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second city and a Euro 2012 host. While we filmed a series系列 of scuffles混戰 between rival對手 fans, suddenly the hooligans流氓 spot發現 a new target - a small group of Asian students there to support the home team.
We showed former England captain Sol Campbell our footage of the group being set upon在…之上. He questioned the decision to award Euro 2012 to the host nations.
The Euro 2012 final is in Kiev, Ukraine's capital. British Government advice for fans is for those of Afro Caribbean or Asian descent to take extra care in Ukraine because of racially motivated種族動機 attacks. Sol Campbell's advice is more direct:
"Stay at home, watch it on TV. Don't even risk it... because you could end up coming back in a coffin."
Uefa said the matches filmed by the BBC were domestic國內 and are a matter for national football authorities. It said Euro 2012 is a chance to address and confront面對 issues like racism.
