Soccer - European Economy to Receive €1.4 Billion Boost from UEFA EURO 2008™
Based on the EURO 2008 draw, Professor Chadwick anticipates the games with the greatest economic impact will be France vs Italy in Zurich, the Netherlands vs France and Italy vs the Netherlands both in Bern – all from Group C – which alone could be worth more than a combined €168m to the European economy. The most lucrative games from other Groups are predicted to be Switzerland vs Portugal in Basel (Group A), Austria vs Germany in Vienna (Group B), Spain vs Russia in Innsbruck (Group D). Professor Chadwick also predicted that the 'ultimate' games to deliver the greatest economic impact would all involve Germany: Germany vs Italy, Germany vs France and Germany vs the Netherlands, should these ties occur at some stage of the tournament.
