Organized by UEFA, the event is expected to generate €2.4 billion in revenue, mainly from TV and marketing rights. Sponsorships from major companies like Adidas, Coca-Cola, Alibaba, and Qatar contribute significantly. Ticket and hospitality sales add to this, while expenses are estimated at €650 million, including €331 million in prize money. UEFA anticipates a profit of €1.7 billion, tax-free due to an agreement with the German government, which also covers €600 million in hosting costs. The 10 host cities will spend €26 million on festivities, with €165 million on stadium renovations and €150 million on security. Despite these expenses, the tournament is expected to boost tourism, with hotels, breweries, and retailers benefiting from increased spending on accommodation, beer, food, merchandise, and electronics.
