Close on the heels of bagging the broadcast rights for Rugby World Cup 2011, Copa America and French Open, NEO Sports, a premium all Sports Channel from the bouquet of NEO Sports Broadcast Pvt. Ltd., has acquired the exclusive broadcast rights of Euro 2012 in the Indian Sub Continent (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and Maldives)

UEFA Euro 2012 will be played amongst the top 16 European teams in June 2012. The premier event will be held in Poland and Ukraine.
