The 51 participating teams were divided into nine groups. Title defender Spain will play in one group with the Czech Republic, Scotland, Lithuania and Liechtenstein.

"Today the eyes of football Europe are turned to Warsaw. We've waited for this day for almost three years, from the moment UEFA decided that the 2012 European Soccer Championship will take place in our country and Ukraine," Tusk said at the drawing.

After the gala, Tusk met Platini for closed-door talks on the preparations to Euro 2012.

The 2012 European Soccer Championship will take place in Poland and Ukraine.
