A Triple Bottom Line Evaluation of the Impacts of UEFA EURO 2012: the Development of Indicators A Triple Bottom Line Evaluation of the Impacts of UEFA EURO 2012: The development of indicators Kseniya Boyko and Mariya Melnyk Graduate School Master of Science in International Business and Trade Master Degree Project No. 2012:4 Supervisor: Harald Dolles Abstract A Triple Bottom Line Evaluation of the Impacts of UEFA EURO 2012: The Development of Indicators Kseniya Boyko and Mariya Melnyk Supervisor: Harald Dolles The vast majority of previous studies of mega-sporting events have had a clear focus on the evaluation of economic or social impacts, although, a need for a more holistic approach has long been acknowledged in academic research. Recently a framework known as the “Triple Bottom Line” (TBL) covering economic, socio-cultural and environmental dimensions has been incorporated into the field of mega-sporting events’ impacts studies. This thesis aims to contribute to the development of the TBL framework for evaluation of the impacts of mega-sporting events. In this study, the TBL framework is applied to the evaluation of the impacts of the Final Tournament of the UEFA European Football Championship 2012 on Ukraine, which is co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine. This ex-ante study results in an assessment and comparison of the impacts of the event on host and non- host cities of Ukraine. Key words: Triple Bottom Line, Mega-sporting event, UEFA EURO 2012, Ukraine, Poland. ii Acknowledgement First and foremost we would like to thank our supervisor, Professor Harald Dolles, for his guidance, support and interest in our topic. Thank you for directing us through the whole process and always being ready to consult us when it was needed. We also want to express our gratitude to our colleagues for the time and effort they have invested in reading our drafts and preparing their feedbacks. Your suggestions were definitely a valuable input for this study. We are grateful to our families and friends. We appreciate your patience and support especially during the past months when our thesis became the main topic for the conversation. Finally, we want to wish the best of luck to the Ukrainian Nation Football team during this Championship and let it be a fair play! iii Table of contents LIST OF TABLES ..................................................................................................................... 3 LIST OF FIGURES ................................................................................................................... 4 ABBREVIATION INDEX ........................................................................................................ 5 1.

  • 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.
