Sold Out or Selling Out? The Future of Football in a Commercialised World
summary
UEFA runs 15 competitions and reports €2.4 billion generated at the last European Championship, while revenue growth concentrates wealth in ~20 top clubs and widens the gap with smaller teams despite solidarity distributions. Euro 2028 sells 60% of tickets at very low prices to keep fans in stadia rather than maximizing revenue. Production workflows adopt AI in TV production, graphics and stadium translation via suppliers, and UEFA starts using its own data; organizers say match volume is at a consumption limit.
