Derry City Football Club’s Post

The UEFA EURO 2024 is heating up with some scintillating goals and a fervent atmosphere! While the FIFA Football World Cup remains the most watched sports event by far, the Euros also generate quite some excitement among football fans. Here are some interesting snippets (courtesy Business of Sport podcast) from the tournament that's taking place in Germany this time: -The 2024 edition is the 17th edition of the tournament, with matches being held in 10 stadiums across the country -The total prize money up for grabs is €331 million with the winners of the tournament receiving a total of €28.5m across all their games. Here's how it's broken up- Qualifying for the tournament gives a team €9.25m, winning each group game €1m, while reaching the knockout stages has a prize money of €1.5m. The prize money goes up significantly as the tournament progresses with the quarter-finalists receiving €2.5m & semis-finalists €4m with the runners-up and winners of the tournament receiving €5m and €8m respectively. -England have the most expensive squad valued at €1.52 billion, followed by France at €1.23b and Portugal at €1.05b. Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe lead the player valuations, with an estimated €180m each. -The tournament is expected to generate €2.4b in revenue for UEFA across media rights, commercial sponsorship, ticketing, hospitality with media rights contributing to almost half the total! -Interestingly, the tournament should have a positive impact on Germany's economy which shrank 0.3% in 2023. Beer sales that are on a downward trend are expected to rebound, along with an increase in hospitality revenues and overall infrastructure upgrades that have been happening in preparation for the tournament. -However, despite not hosting the tournament, the true economical benefactors might just be England! It's expected that a successful campaign (reaching the semis or the finals) could lead to spends of close to €2.75b in the country, with 80 million pints or €400m worth of beer being sold and 12 million people buying the most popular sports food- pizza! Ask any football fan and they'll tell you that football is an emotion. It's also quite a business!

🚨 Did you know seeing too many target pairs can slow down competitions? 🚨 In Sporting Clays, adhering to the "show pair" rules during competitions ensures fairness and efficiency. The first shter can view a good presentation of targets from the shting station, helping strategize shots, especially for true pairs. However, repeatedly asking to see pairs can slow down the competition and cause delays. ⏳ The NSCA rules state that while the first sh**ter can view a good presentation, the process should not be excessively prolonged. Viewing multiple show pairs beyond what's necessary is discouraged, as it not only slows down the squad but also impacts the event schedule and increases costs for the hosting club. 💰 Key Reminders: ✅ View enough pairs to understand targets ✅ Avoid unnecessary delays ✅ Respect event timing and other participants ✅ Follow club-specific rules Balancing the need for target viewing with respect for the event's timing and other participants is essential. Adhering to these rules ensures a smooth and fair competition experience for everyone. 🎯 Come smoke some clays in Northeast Florida! 🌞 🌐 https://buff.ly/3Rrzq3O #AmeliaShotgunSports #SportingClays #ClaySports #Skeet #TargetSports
