Summary of results

7.1

UEFA EURO 08: Perception and acceptance

Results from several population surveys suggest that the Swiss public took a very favorable stance toward the European Football Championshiop of 2008: Roughly ninty percent of all respondents had a (very) positive attitude towards the UEFA EURO 08.

7.2

UEFA EURO 08: Economic impact

The UEFA EURO 08 has generated a total business volume of over 1.7 billion Swiss Francs and thus exceeded earlier estimates amounting to about 1.5 billion Swiss Francs.

7.3

UEFA EURO 08: Impact on sport

Over the past few years, football has boomed in Switzerland. Part of the increase in membership rates in Swiss football clubs may well be attributed to the positive effect of the UEFA EURO 08.

7.4

Image effects abroad due to sports

There are hardly any data on the image effects of Swiss sport abroad. However, the UEFA EURO 2008 held in Switzerland and Austria does not appear to have had any substantial effect on Switzerland's image in Germany and France.
