Polish health officials are to distribute free condoms to hundreds of thousands of football fans attending Euro 2012.
Officials say the safe sex campaign advocating the use of condoms will be held in all four Euro 2012 host cities in Poland.
Deputy health minister Aleksander Soplinski said 150,000 free kits of condoms and leaflets will be distributed in fan zones to alert visitors to the health hazards of casual sex, such as Aids and other diseases.
They say the “Fair Play” leaflets – in Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, English, German and Spanish – will advise on the use of condoms.
The tournament kicks off June 8th in Warsaw and runs through to July 1st in Poland and Ukraine.
The Ireland team will be based in Poland, and all the squad’s group games will be in that country. England fans are also expected to base themselves in Poland. – (AP)
