UEFA wants five officials at Euro 2012

WARSAW - UEFA wants to have five officials on hand for matches at Euro 2012, its chief, Michel Platini, said on Tuesday, in a renewed drive to deal with disputed on-pitch decisions.

Speaking during a visit to Poland, co-host of the 2012 European Championships along with neighbour Ukraine, Platini said adding officials to the traditional trio of a referee and two linesmen had proven its worth in continental club competitions.

"I'm 500 percent satisfied with the way having five officials has worked in the Champions League and Europa League," he said.
