UEFA EURO 2012's closing ceremony has taken place today at the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv just before the beginning of the match between the two national finalist teams in order to pay tribute to the victory of the entire European sport. The concept of UEFA EURO 2012 Opening and Closing Ceremony has been created by Marco Balich, President of Filmmaster Events and Olympic Producer, Lida Castelli, Artistic Director and Bryn Walters, Show Director.
Marco Balich explained "About 11 meters cup, 880 volunteer performers coordinated by the great choreographer Bryn Walters, a graffiti inspired ceremony to celebrate the beautiful tournament of EURO 2012. Thanks to Poland and Ukraine, thanks to the volunteers, thanks to UEFA for these great emotions."
UEFA tournament's values such as the spirit of rivalry and positive competition inspired the concept of the closing ceremony. A giant referee's whistle mass choreography of more than 600 volunteer performers, divided in two group of colors staging the idea of rivalry, kicked off the show before the long-awaited final match. Millions of people were expected to watch the historical tournament and directly from the opening ceremony the two children symbolizing Poland and Ukraine came back in the closing show to blow their whistle and kick-start the choreographed action which lighted up the challenge of this historical competition.
The official EURO 2012 song was performed by the German singer Oceana in front of a huge UEFA cup, while the final choreography paid tribute to the 16 participating teams. At this point the teams entered the field of play ready to play the final and the most important match of the European football tournament.
