The success of the Euro Cup, in data

There was a lot of desire to European Cup and, once the group phase is over and the initial assessment done, it is well demonstrated.

The UEFA was ready to receive a large number of people and did it well, in and out of the field, despite the fact that at the level of security it seemed that someone had escaped, although that had to do with Germany rather than the European organization itself.

The most reliable proof that football moves mountains is the Fan Zones, shared among the tournament’s 10 host cities, which at the same time has more than one to accommodate everyone. According to official UEFA data, more than 3.3 million people They descend on these areas for fans, where besides the presence of Foodtrucks, there are activities prepared for the oldest and the youngest throughout the day.

Also a success in terms of good vibes among followers. In the most sensitive matches, such as Serbia against England, two fan zones were set up for each as a precaution, but in others there was unity between the countries, in a mix of cultures typical of a tournament of these characteristics. .

However, not everyone had the privilege of traveling to Germany to follow their country. But that doesn’t mean they haven’t followed the progress of their team and their rivals in detail. So Euro 2024 broke its own television audience record, with a grand total of 5 billion viewers.

Something that also translates to the level of social networks, where the youngest people are deeply immersed. During this Euro Cup, UEFA’s own platforms grew by 7.5 million followerswhich accumulates a total of no less than 145 million interactions and 1,350 million views of videos uploaded to these platforms, which has surpassed the 2020 edition at this point and has a lot of room to continue growing, because the entire elimination phase remains.

The stadiums, full

The level of ticket sales and attendance at the matches was also a total success. More than 1.8 million spectators attended the stadiums throughout this group stageand UEFA made 85% of the 2.7 million tickets available to the general public, favoring the attendance of all fans.

A Euro Cup where, for the first time, tickets are distributed digitally to make it more sustainable, thanks to the application of UEFA Mobile Tickets, where you can directly enter the stadium.

Furthermore, UEFA emphasizes that at the level of sustainability, it emphasizes the reduction of the use of planes, both by the teams, who travel by bus in many cases, and by the fans, thanks to the collaboration with Deutsche Bahnwhich sold more than 200,000 tickets at a reduced price and saw the movement of more than 500,000 users of free public transport in the case of having a ticket in the field.
