Referee Appointed for Semi-Final in Monaco
Media Release Date: 19/04/2004 Communiqué aux médias No. 056 Medien-Mitteilung Referee appointed for semi-final in Monaco The UEFA Referees Committee today announced that Swiss referee Urs Meier will officiate at the first leg of the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League semi-final between AS Monaco FC and Chelsea FC to be played at the Stade Louis II in Monaco on Tuesday 20 April, kicking- off at 20.45 CET. His assistant referees will be Francesco Buragina and Rudolf Käppeli, while the 4th Official will be Markus Nobs. All four members of the team are from Switzerland. Urs Meier, 45, has been a referee for 27 years and won his FIFA badge ten years ago. He was the referee at the 2002 UEFA Champions League final between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Real Madrid CF and, a month or so later, handled two matches at the FIFA World Cup in Japan /Korea. This will be Urs Meier’s third match involving AS Monaco FC. The first was a 3-0 UEFA Champions League defeat against Sporting Clube de Portugal in Lisbon on 17 September 1997 and the second was, curiously, the last time the club from the Principality reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. On 15 April 1998, he was the referee when they recorded a pyrrhic 3-2 victory over Juventus. His only previous encounter with Chelsea FC was on 11 August 1999 when they defeated FC Skonto 3-0 in a UEFA Champions League qualifier. Urs Meier was the referee two weeks ago, when RC Deportivo La Coruña defeated the defending champions, AC Milan, 4-0 at home in the return leg of their quarter-final.

Referee Appointed for Semi-Final in London
Media Release Date: 03/05/2004 Communiqué aux médias No. 069 Medien-Mitteilung Referee appointed for semi-final in London The UEFA Referees Committee today announced that Swedish referee Anders Frisk will officiate at the second leg of the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League semi-final between Chelsea FC and AS Monaco to be played at Stamford Bridge in London on Wednesday 5 May, kicking-off at 19.45 local time (20.45 CET). His assistant referees will be Kenneth Petersson and Peter Ekström, while the Fourth Official will be Peter Fröjdfeldt. All four members of the team are from Sweden. Anders Frisk, 41, has been a referee for 26 years and won his FIFA badge 13 years ago. His first major tournament was EURO 96 in England, where he was the referee of the 3-3 draw between Russia and the Czech Republic in Liverpool. Four years later, he officiated at three EURO 2000 matches, including the final between France and Italy in Rotterdam. The previous games had been Portugal’s 3-2 win against England in Eindhoven and the Netherlands’ victory over France in Amsterdam by the same scoreline. At the 2002 FIFA World Cup finals, he handled the matches between Brazil and China (4-0) followed by Spain and Republic of Ireland (3-2 for Spain in a penalty shoot-out after a 1-1 draw). Anders Frisk has handled five UEFA Champions League fixtures this season and, curiously, not one has ended as a home win. The other curiosity is that, even though this is his 111th international match, he has visited London only three times – once for England’s 2-0 defeat by the Netherlands in August 2001.

6. Africa Cup of Nations Stadiums
6. Africa Cup of Nations stadiums The first African Cup of Nations (CAN) was organised in 1957 and has been held every two years since 1968. 16 teams have participated in each tournament since 1998. In 2010 the Confederation of African Football (CAF) decided to move the CAN to uneven years to avoid the event clashing with the FIFA World Cup. Figure 6.1: Africa Cup of Nations stadiums 2000-2010 Number of Used Venues Number of New or Major Renovated Venues 7 666 6 6 5 4 44 4 44 3 2 1 1 0 1 0 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 As the figure above shows, the CAN’s host countries have over the last ten years tended to use four to six venues – in contrast to UEFA Euro, in which 16 teams also participate but UEFA’s requirements calls for at least eight stadiums. In the last six CAN tournaments all final venues have had a capacity over 45,000 and an average capacity of just over 58,000, which is comparable to the requirements UEFA has for the stadiums that stage the UEFA Euro final. However, the average capacity of the smallest venues used for the CAN is just 19,500 seats, which differs from UEFA’s minimum requirement of 30,000 seats. Both Tunisia and Egypt, who hosted CAN in 2004 and 2006 respectively, already had a decent number of stadiums available and did not make any major investments in new stadiums. Tunisia hosted the Mediterranean Games in 2001 and leading up to these games they constructed Stade de 7 Novembre, which after the 2011 revolution is now named Stade Olympique de Radès.

UEFA EURO 2004™ Income Announced
Media Release Date: 28/05/2004 Communiqué aux médias No. 079 Medien-Mitteilung UEFA EURO 2004™ income announced Total income of CHF 1,250 million from tournament UEFA today announced the total income generated from EURO 2004™ to be CHF 1,250 million, how it will be utilised, and the split of prize and appearance money that will be shared amongst the 16 competing nations. The figure of CHF 1,250 million represents income, and not profit, from the TV contract with the EBU, the non-European TV sales, sponsorship deals and hospitality packages. Out of this the tournament running costs, solidarity payments to national associations and prize money for the 16 competing nations must be taken. The tournament expenses, including the joint venture with hosts Portugal and security expenses, could be around CHF 350 million. In addition to this figure UEFA also has to make provisions to cover its own costs by earmarking something between 200 and 300 million Swiss francs to be spread over the three years when the tournament is not being played. Much of this will be used to finance competitions that are not self-financing like the youth and women’s competitions. In addition CHF 400 million will be distributed to national associations (compared to 76 million from the previous tournament) via UEFA’s HatTrick programme to distribute over the next four years to all of UEFA’s 52 member associations. The remaining income of CHF 200 million is distributed to the competing national teams at UEFA EURO 2004™ as follows. Each of the sixteen teams will receive the minimum fixed payment of CHF 7.5 million – 56 per cent more than at EURO 2000.

Hybrid Machine Learning Forecasts for the UEFA EURO 2020 Arxiv
Hybrid Machine Learning Forecasts for the UEFA EURO 2020 A. Groll * L. M. Hvattum † C. Ley ‡ F. Popp § G. Schauberger ¶ H. Van Eetvelde || A. Zeileis ** June 11, 2021 Abstract Three state-of-the-art statistical ranking methods for forecasting football matches are combined with several other predictors in a hybrid machine learning model. Namely an ability estimate for every team based on historic matches; an ability estimate for every team based on bookmaker consensus; average plus-minus player ratings based on their individual performances in their home clubs and national teams; and further team covariates (e.g., mar- ket value, team structure) and country-speciﬁc socio-economic factors (population, GDP). The proposed combined approach is used for learning the number of goals scored in the matches from the four previous UEFA EUROs 2004-2016 and then applied to current infor- mation to forecast the upcoming UEFA EURO 2020. Based on the resulting estimates, the tournament is simulated repeatedly and winning probabilities are obtained for all teams. A random forest model favors the current World Champion France with a winning probability of 14.8% before England (13.5%) and Spain (12.3%). Additionally, we provide survival probabilities for all teams and at all tournament stages. Keywords: UEFA EURO 2020, Football, Machine Learning, Team abilities, Sports tourna- ments. 1 Introduction The use of statistical and machine learning models to predict the outcome of international football tournaments, such as European championships (EUROs) or FIFA World Cups, has become pretty popular in recent years. One model class that is frequently used is the class arXiv:2106.05799v1 [cs.LG] 7 Jun 2021 of Poisson regression models.
