The foreigners are enamored of Ukraine!

Foreign fans were delighted by their trip, because: Ukraine was perfectly prepared for the championship technically: new modern airports, roads, excellent stadiums, new transport appeared in the cities. UEFA president Michel Platini told: "Thanks to EURO-2012 Ukraine made a step forward for 30 years". And, as it is known, the championship ends, and the results remain.

Ukrainians were very hospitable and made friends with foreign fans so much, that the holiday passed wonderfully well!

The most warm-hearted friendship appeared between Hollander and Kharkiv citizens, who went for the teams of each other till the last minute. Everybody cheered up in the fan zone at the biggest square in Europe - guests and citizens dressed in orange colors drank beer, took pictures with each other, sang sounding "Viva Hollandia!", and somebody has even found here his love.

In the first colorful Dutch march from the fan zone to the stadium (about 5 km) only foreign guests took part. And already in the third march thousands of Kharkiv citizens joined them!

Other host-cities kept up with Kharkiv: the Swedish fans in Kyiv swam in the Dnieper and sunbathed on its shores, learned Ukrainian songs, and exclaimed: "Kyiv, we will come back! Ukraine, we love you!". German and Portuguese fans in Lviv enjoyed the beauty of the old city.
