==Venues==
The tournament was played at eight venues throughout the two host nations; four in Austria and four in Switzerland. Each venue had a capacity of at least 30,000 for the tournament; the largest stadium was [[Ernst-Happel-Stadion]] in Vienna with a capacity of 53,295.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fussballtempel.net/em2008/stadien.html |title=UEFA EURO 2008 |accessdate=8 June 2008|publisher=fussballtempel.net }}</ref> It was for this reason that Ernst-Happel-Stadion hosted the final. Switzerland played all of their group stage matches at [[St. Jakob Park]] in Basel, which also hosted the opening match of the tournament as a compromise for the final being held in Vienna. Austria played all of their group stage matches at Ernst-Happel-Stadion.
In 2004, the [[Zurich]] venue became a problem for the organisers. Originally, the [[Hardturm]] stadium was to be renovated and used as the city's venue, but legal challenges delayed the plan to a point that would not have allowed the ground to be used in 2008. This created a problem, as the agreement between [[UEFA]] and the organisers stipulated that four venues would be used in each country. The problem was solved when the organisers proposed renovating [[Letzigrund]] instead; UEFA approved the revised plan in January 2005. The Letzigrund stadium hosted its first football match on 23 September 2007.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uefa.com/competitions/euro/organisation/venueguide/city=16/newsid=312773.html |title=Zurich – Letzigrund Stadion }}</ref>
