Introduction As the world's third largest sports event, the UEFA European Football Championship has the overwhelming ability to awaken emotions, achieve positive change and unite people all over Europe. Since its first edition in 1960, UEFA’s flagship national team competition has grown enormously in size and reputation. After starting with four participating teams in the first edition and gradually increasing the number of finalists to 16 in 1996, the final tournament in 2016 will, for the first time in the history of the UEFA European Football Championship, see 24 teams competing for the prestigious Henri Delaunay trophy. For the final tournament, hundreds of thousands of people visit the host country in order to feel the excitement of this unique event, watch the matches and celebrate together. On television, millions of people worldwide follow each match and share their passion for football. Not only does this have a positive impact on the tourist industry and thus on the economy of the country as a whole, it also supports the social aspect of football by bringing people together. The organisation of such an event is very complex and only possible if the host is able to provide the relevant infrastructure (state-of-the-art stadiums, sufficient and appropriate accommodation facilities, efficient public transport system, etc.) and to satisfy the demands of all relevant stakeholders, such as participating teams, supporters, the UEFA family, media, broadcast partners, commercial affiliates, etc. The bid requirements are designed to give all member associations that wish to bid to host UEFA EURO 2016 an overview of the requirements that the host association must satisfy and the basis upon which bidders will be evaluated by UEFA. In addition, they set out the information and materials that bidders must provide in the bid procedure and guide them in the preparation of their bid dossiers. Sector 01 – Page 3 of 13 2.

  • Evidence from EURO 2008 in Austria/Switzerland
    Football-Tourists and Their Contribution to the Economic Impact - Evidence from EURO 2008 in Austria/Switzerland Holger Preuss, Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Germany, [email protected] Norbert Schütte, Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Germany Keywords: EURO 2008, mega events, macroeconomic impact, visitor expenditures Abstract Background Ever more nations and cities apply to stage mega sport events. The most challenging bid procedures are those for Olympic Games and the FIFA and UEFA football tournaments. One reason to enter the costly bidding process is the prospect to attract autonomous money and to speed up the infra-structural development of the host city and region. Häussermann & Siebel (1993) call this strategy "Festivalization of city politics". It is a fact, that different mega events have different effects for the hosts, partly due to the different infrastructure existent in the city (Hall, 1992, Preuss, 2007, Kurscheidt 2008). Therefore – at the end of the day – each host should check if the mega event staged really had a positive macroeconomic out-come. Only this justifies investments of scarce public resources into the event. A proportionally important but extremely difficult part of the autonomous expenditures spent in the host city and region is the consumption of the event visitors. Their intention to visit to event location, the attractiveness of the city but also the framework of the event (e.g. countries participating, reach-ability of event location etc.) makes each event unique. Aim This presentation will focus on the visitor’s consumption at the EURO 2008 in Aus- tria/Switzerland. It will show the visitor’s consumption as a significant contribution to the overall eco-nomic success of the EURO 2008 for Austria.

  • UEFA EURO 2012 Social Responsibility Report
    UEFAUEFA EUROEURO 2012 SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION A major tournament such as UEFA EURO 2012 touches on many economic, social and environmental aspects which are related to sustainability. Many of them, such as transport, procurement, workforce training, volunteerism, cus- tomer satisfaction, customer privacy, health and safety, and doping, are part of the core business of the organisation of the tournament. In 2008, UEFA cooperated with the governments of Switzerland and Austria in their efforts to prepare a social re- sponsibility report on UEFA EURO 2008. The report was inspired by the guidelines issued by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI; www.globalreporting.org) – the leading global network for sustainability reporting. Since then, UEFA has supported efforts to develop a specific sector supplement for event organisers (EOSS) and participated in the advisory board. This social responsibility report is an important step, demonstrating UEFA’s clear commitment to football’s social responsibility. The report covers all aspects that were relevant to the tournament and under UEFA’s control or influence. It is a credit to those involved in UEFA EURO 2012 that social aspects of sustainability were improved on relative to UEFA EURO 2008, given the challenging political, economic and social circumstances. 3 INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION / ORGANISATIONORGANISATION OFOF UEFAUEFA EUROEURO 2012 / THETHE STAGESTAGE / THETHE TOURNAMENTTOURNAMENT / BEHINDBEHIND THETHE SCENESSCENES / ORGANISATION OF UEFA EURO 2012 Within UEFA, the operations division (UEFA Events SA) had ownership of UEFA EURO 2012 and was responsible for the organisation of the event.

  • The Incentive (In)Compatibility of Group-Based Qualification Systems
    The incentive (in)compatibility of group-based qualification systems L´aszl´oCsat´o* Institute for Computer Science and Control (SZTAKI) Laboratory on Engineering and Management Intelligence, Research Group of Operations Research and Decision Systems Corvinus University of Budapest (BCE) Department of Operations Research and Actuarial Sciences Budapest, Hungary 21st April 2020 Ein Fehler in der ursprunglichen¨ Versammlung der Heere ist im ganzen Verlauf des Feldzuges kaum wieder gut zu machen.1 (Helmuth Karl Bernhard von Moltke: Taktisch-strategische Aufs¨atzeaus den Jahren 1857 bis 1871 ) Abstract Tournament organisers supposedly design rules such that a team cannot be strictly better off by exerting a lower effort. However, the European qualification tourna- ments for recent FIFA soccer World Cups are known to violate this requirement, which inspires our study on the incentive compatibility of similar group-based qualification systems. Theorems listing the sufficient and necessary conditions of strategy-proofness are provided and applied to classify several soccer qualification tournaments for FIFA World Cups and UEFA European Championships. Two reasonable mechanisms are proposed to solve the problem of incentive incompatibil- ity: the first is based on abolishing the anonymity of the matches discarded inthe comparison of teams from different groups, while the second involves a rethinking of the seeding procedure. Our results have useful implications for the governing bodies of major sports.
