SPORTS: Zurich stadium to be used for Euro 2008

Zurich's Letzigrund stadium will be used during the 2008 European championships, raising Switzerland's number of venues to the required four.

European soccer's governing body, which confirmed the decision Friday, had been concerned after legal challenges in Switzerland against rebuilding Zurich's Hardturm Stadium left the country with only three suitable sites.

UEFA now has accepted plans to rebuild the Letzigrund track and field stadium to hold games during Euro 2008, which will be shared with neighboring Austria.
