UEFA made a profit of €890 million on Euro 2016 in France.
Ministry of Sport in France said France spent €200 million (incl. doubling the original spend estimate on security) in total on the tournament. But they made €1.2 BILLION in spending/tourist related income. So it's actually a money spinner to host. All depends on how much you have to spend updating stadiums/infrastructure. |

Isn't there now a UEFA/ FIFA rule that you can't have two stadiums in one city for a major tournament any more? That's why for Euro 2016 (and indeed France '98) the Stade de France is officially in Saint Denis and not Paris. |

I was very skeptical of those figures. Seems a very low spend for such a huge tournament. How come the Olympics seems to be a big loss for countries that host them?? |

Has a lot to do with the diversity of sports at the Olympics which require an array of arena`s and infrastructure. Hosting a football tournament is pretty straight forward. You either have or will have 10 odd good stadia to host it. With the Olympics you need waterways, archery courses, Olympic size pools, Rugby league pitches etc etc. The majority of which will never be used again after the Olympics roll out of town.

The Olympics is a vast amount of different sports so they are investing in all of them instead of investing in a few new stadiums and using existing stadiums for football tournaments |

I think you are allowed one. Sure Espanyol's stadium is not in Barcelona. And the Olympic stadium in Madrid might not be in Madrid, either, which is Atletico's new one. |

I'm sure that was the case why London only had one stadium in Euro 96

To spread the burden and ability to reach more fans I would be in favour of one "major" host nation and a few "sub" host nations.
For example: Germany 2024 are the Major host nation. They hold all the knock out games and 1 group - theirs. Maybe Sweden, Croatia, Hungary and Ireland hold the remaining groups. The main host only has to worry about the knock out stages and their group. Smaller nations get to host a group and most countries in the EU would be able to do so.

I mean, how many people go from Ireland for a Euro or World Cup Finals, versus an Olympic games? Besides, the organisers need to provide an awful lot more diamond-encrusted watches, luxury hotel rooms and bulging brown envelopes etc for an Olympics than for a World Cup or Euros, since they're all there, not just the teams who qualified... |

Let's see now.... Germany - Loads applicable, but not the four you cite; France - Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Holland even; Spain - France, Portugal, er, Gibraltar England - Scotland, Wales, NI, ROI; Russia - All those neighbouring countries they get on with - i.e. Belarus and Kazakhstan, Finland (sort of); Ah, bollox, just let China host it - they'll have most of the players by then, anyhow! |

Don't see the point of "sub" groups in neighbouring countries, not when Germany could host it on their own.
If it is in Germany, they would want all 24 teams fans spending money in Germany. After all the Germans would have spent millions upgrading stadiums/providing facilities etc, so those individual German cities would want maximum games in their turf, why go to all that trouble and expense for maybe 1 group game and 1 knockout match (because other countries got token matches), when they could have say 3 group matches and a knockout match. Euro 2020 will show us if spreading games around works or not. |

Obviously the Germans can host it all on their own but if UEFA wanted to spread the joy of football to smaller nations it could use "sub" hosts. And given the size of Europe I dont think the sub hosts have to be beside Germany. Why not Ireland, its a few hrs flight which is nothing.

Do bear in mind that the European Championships will be 24 teams, not 32 or 48. So it should still be just about manageable to be hosted in one country. At most it will be two countries co-hosting. None of this sub-hosting nonsense that we will see in 2020.

One of the joys of Euro2016 is that many fans travelled around France to watch games involving teams other than their own. So if eg Germany were only to be the main host (as opposed to sole host), then fans should at least be able to travel to other sub-hosts by car, bus and train. I mean, it's not as if there is any shortage of land neighbours who could do the job i.e. Austria, Belgium, Czech Rep, Denmark, France, Netherlands, Poland and Switzerland (we needn't count Luxembourg!) |

Germany would be able to hold it on it's own, as mentioned above. No need to worry about any other scenario.
