Just before the weekend the Euro 2012 championship kicked off in Poland and the Ukraine with sixteen nations set to battle it out for the top prize of being crowned champions of Europe, which was won by Spain four years ago. Today we have some pub and football fan apps that can help you enjoy the tournament more.

First up for sports fans in the UK is the MatchPint application that promises to be the country’s number one sports pub finder. The application will help thirsty football fans wanting to watch the action over a pint find the best places to do so. If you are wondering which games will be shown by each pub, or if a certain pub has a garden that you can enjoy the sun if it ever comes out this application can help you.

The application is free and gives users fixture schedules with what pubs are showing each match, and it will also tell you what pubs have an outdoor screen. The app is not restricted to football though as it will also help you find locations to watch Formula 1, Test Cricket, International Rugby, and this summer’s Olympics. To find out more and to download head over to the App Store.

Next up for anyone that is planning on travelling to the Ukraine to watch any of the games is Euro Guest for iOS. The application is useful for Euro 2012 or for anyone just visiting the country for a holiday. It has information on hotels, transport, entertainments, food markets, restaurants, medicine, and the stadiums being used for the matches.

Euro Guest 1.1 is available for owners of the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch running iOS 4.1 or later from the App Store for only £0.69/$0.99.
