What’s new in the EURO 2012 competition regulations?

UEFA has announced two changes to the Regulations of the UEFA European Football Championship 2010–12, related to abandoned matches and friendly international fixtures scheduled in the run-up to the tournament.
Paragraph 10.08 has been amended and paragraph 10.09 added to stipulate that if a match is abandoned, only the remaining part of the game must be completed the following day – unless the case is referred to the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body. If it cannot be completed the following day, the UEFA administration will take a final decision. Players substituted or sent off in the abandoned match may not be included on the match sheet when it re-starts. And those players in play at the time of the abandonment may not be included as substitutes when the match is resumed. Teams can make only the number of substitutions available to them when the game was abandoned.
The other decision refers to paragraph 2.08, which prohibits teams which have qualified for the final round from playing each other in the month before the start of the tournament. One exception is now granted, allowing teams that have not been drawn into the same group to play
each other once.
