KIEV, June 15 (Reuters) – The Euro 2012 game between Sweden
and England will kick off at 1900 GMT, 15 minutes later than
scheduled after the other Group D match between Ukraine and
France was suspended for almost an hour, UEFA said on Friday.
“The kickoff is delayed until 10pm local time to avoid any
overlap between the two matches and because Ukraine is the host
nation,” a UEFA representative at Kiev’s media centre said.
The game between France and Ukraine was interrupted in the
fifth minute because of lightning and thunder amid torrential
rain in Donetsk.
It resumed shortly after 1700 GMT.
