Chelsea, whose squad features national team players from 11 different countries, won England’s FA Cup on Saturday and recently defeated the defending European club champions, Barcelona, to earn the right to play in this year’s UEFA Champions League final. Since its founding in 1905, the London-based team has won four domestic league titles (1954-55, 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2009-10), seven FA Cups (1970, ‘97, 2000, ‘07, ‘09, ’10, ‘12), and has finished either first or second in England’s Premier League in seven of the eight seasons prior to this year.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) was founded in 1970 and represents France’s capital city. The club is a two-time winner of the Ligue 1 title (1985-86 and 1993-94), an eight-time winner of the French Cup (1982, ’83, ’93, ’95, ’98, 2004, ’06, ’10) and a two-time winner of France’s Champions Trophy. PSG is also one of only two French clubs to win a major European trophy, claiming the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1996. Currently in first place in France’s top-level soccer division with 73 points from 36 games played, PSG has aggressively recruited top international talent on and off the field, including manager Carlo Ancelotti and director of football Leonardo Araújo.

The current Yankee Stadium will carry on the great soccer tradition of the original Yankee Stadium, which hosted some of the most famous teams in world soccer, including Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid, Barcelona, A.C. Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Napoli, Celtic, Benfica, Sparta Prague and Panathinaikos, along with the national sides of England, Israel, Italy and the United States. Pele, who many consider the greatest player of all time, called Yankee Stadium home in 1976, when he played for the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League. The upcoming match will mark the first time that a French club will play in the home of the Yankees.

The match between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain is part of the World Football Challenge, which is taking place throughout North America from July 18 through August 11.

Norway win UEFA Respect Fair Play ranking

UEFA’s Respect Fair Play ranking, based on all UEFA competition matches played at both club and national team level, from 1 May 2011 to 30 April 2012, has been won by Norway.

Winners Norway, second-placed Finland and third-placed the Netherlands will each be granted one additional slot to the first qualifying round of the 2012/13 UEFA Europa League.

For the final ranking, only associations having played a minimum of 35 matches are taken into account. This cut-off point is calculated by dividing the total number of UEFA matches by the number of national associations.

The Fair Play assessments are made by the official UEFA delegates on criteria such as positive play, respect of the opponent, respect of the referee, behavior of the crowd and of the team officials, as well as cautions and dismissals.

The three associations which are allocated an additional UEFA Europa League place will be entitled to enter the club that has won the domestic top-division fair play competition. If this club has already qualified for a UEFA club competition, the second-placed team in the domestic fair play competition may be entered and, should they also have already qualified, the third-placed team would be considered and so forth.

It is even possible for a team that has been relegated to the second highest division to qualify for the UEFA Europa League, as a result of its exemplary fair play conduct during the domestic championship. Only clubs which have received a UEFA license will be able to participate in the UEFA Europa League.

2014 Summit Plots FIFA, LOC and Government Road Map

The respective heads of FIFA, the Local Organising Committee and the Brazilian government as represented by the Ministry of Sport today successfully concluded the first joint summit on preparations for the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ in Zurich. “Today was a historic day at the Home of FIFA in Zurich. This summit represented a strong signal from the Brazilian government that it is fully committed to our partnership and shared responsibility to stage the most successful FIFA World Cup ever. We have today laid the foundations for achieving our joint goal in an atmosphere of mutual cooperation and trust,” explained FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter, who opened and closed the meeting.

During more than five hours of constructive discussions and open dialogue, the delegations of FIFA (headed by FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke, FIFA Executive Committee member Marco Polo Del Nero and various directors), the 2014 LOC (represented by chairman José Maria Marin, Ronaldo and Bebeto) and the Brazilian government (led by Sports Minister Aldo Rebelo, Executive Secretary Luis Fernandes and ministry office chief Luís Paulino) plotted a detailed road map with concrete measures aimed at addressing the challenges identified to ensure efficient preparations. These measures drew on in-depth reports drawn up by the technical teams of the Brazilian government, FIFA and the LOC to analyze the status of the preparations, ranging from stadiums to general infrastructure.

As the first concrete step of this operational unity, Luis Fernandes from the Ministry of Sport has been appointed as a permanent representative of the government under the leadership of the Local Organising Committee. Also joining the LOC will be FIFA’s Brazilian Executive Committee member Marco Polo Del Nero. Under this new composition, the respective leaders of FIFA, the LOC and the government will also now meet every six weeks for a status report.

“The Brazilian government is proud and determined to fulfil all our commitments to the 2014 FIFA World Cup and to support FIFA and the LOC wherever needed to overcome any challenges, which will be handled by our experienced team led by Luis Fernandes,” said Minister Rebelo, who added: “Our aim today was to establish solidarity among everyone responsible for organising the FIFA World Cup. We have accomplished this mission. FIFA and the LOC can count on the government as a committed partner. We will work hard together without wasting any time to stage an unforgettable event.”

UEFA Satisfied With Ukraine’s Safety

“Ukraine is a safe country. In this regard, the situation is alike to that in Germany or Switzerland. Everything is going to be okay,” said Martin Kallen, UEFA operations director, in his interview with German sports magazine Kicker, reports SID. The official noted that safety level of EURO 2012 would be top notch.

As part of EURO 2012 preparations, Ukrainian authorities have taken a number of measures aimed at providing safety during the upcoming football championship.

On April 17, 2012, Ukraine opened the Headquarters for international cooperation concerning safety during EURO 2012 in Kyiv. Rapid response and analytical teams at the Headquarters will resolve any pending emergencies during the championship.

In February 2012, Ukrainian delegation visited London to take safety tips from the British as they were preparing for the upcoming 2012 Summer Olympic Games.

Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs created the lists of football hooligans (persons, previously charged with public offence at football matches), particularly ultras, in order to prevent possible clashes between the fans.

Moreover, Ukraine adopted a law that stipulates the persons ruled ineligible to visit football matches in their country of residence might be declined the right to enter Ukraine. Consequently, some fans will not be allowed to visit the country during June of 2012.

Curiously, over the last three years French gendarmerie has been providing training for the Ukrainian internal troops in order to enable them to assist the local police during EURO 2012.

The representatives of law enforcement agencies of the countries participating in EURO 2012 will come to Ukraine to assist Ukrainian police in ensuring safety during the matches. Besides the actual police forces, more than 4,000 stewards will maintain safety at the stadiums.

28 aircrafts, 16 helicopters, and 10 surface-to-air missile systems will guard EURO 2012 host cities, as well as the borders of the country.

UEFA will take charge of the stadiums hosting EURO 2012 on May 11th.

Hotel Rates in Munich Rise Up to 1272% for Champions League Final

LONDON – Chelsea fans who are planning to follow their team to the UEFA Champions League final on May 19 might be in for a shock when looking for a hotel room. With the title game date less than three weeks away, accommodations in the host city of Munich are becoming rather pricey.

To spend the night in the Bavarian capital the day Chelsea goes head to head against Bayern, fans will have to spend close to Euro 500 (GBP 407) for the cheapest available room. That’s the finding of a recent survey conducted by CheapHotels.org, which compared rates across the various hotel-booking sites.

While the vast majority of hotels are sold out on the day of the Champions League final, about a dozen hotels, mainly in the outside districts of Munich, are still listing vacancies. However, because demand far exceeds supply, they’re implementing exorbitant rate hikes.

One case in point is the NH Munchen am Ring. This 3-star accommodation is situated 4 km from Munich’s city centre. Rooms at this establishment regularly go for Euro 84, but come the day of the CL final, they’ll soar to Euro 824. That figure equates to an 880% increase.

The NH Munchen am Ring is not the biggest price gouger, though. That honour goes to the Eurostars Grand Central, a 4-star hotel near Munich Central Station. Normally posting room rates of Euro 111, this accommodation is charging Euro 1523 the night of May 19, or a staggering 1272% more than usual.

Alas, staying anywhere in Munich won’t come cheaply. Indeed, the lowest-priced double room currently available is priced at Euro 499, with single rooms a bit cheaper. There is an affordable workaround for bargain hunters, however. If they are willing to stay in the neighbouring city of Augsburg, which is connected to Munich by direct train, they can secure a double room for around Euro 100 per night and arrive at the final in under an hour. They don’t have to worry about getting stranded if the game runs late either. Trains run until 3:00 in the morning.
