Poland wants to set a new deadline for the construction of their Euro 2012 stadiums, Sports Minister Elzbieta Jakubiak said on Monday.
Since Poland won the right in April to co-host the event with Ukraine, early euphoria has been replaced by growing concerns it may not prepare new grounds and upgrade inadequate infrastructure in time.
European soccer's governing body UEFA says the tournament co-hosts must build the necessary stadiums by mid-2010.
"We need additional time and the year 2011 will be the most suitable," Jakubiak told a news conference.
