UEFA EURO24 Bid Brochure

16 WHAT WE WILL BRING TO UEFA PROVIDE THE BEST CONDITIONS The teams will benefit from our 10 state-of-the-art stadiums and 48 training facilities. Turkey has the full support and guarantee of the state authorities, Government of the Republic of Turkey, and local authorities, private institutions, and NGOs to organise the tournament in the best possible way. This means we can offer the most convenient conditions on legal, tax, customs, security, visas, working permits, and similar matters for this tournament. ACCESS A NEW FAN BASE Turkey is the geographical centre of the world, which enables us to have access to new spectator profiles. We will attract new target groups of supporters; women, people with disabilities, refugees, and families, of all generations. We will set up public screening venues so that the whole country can cherish the enthusiasm of UEFA EURO 2024, to share and spread the excitement in 81 cities. We can promote the EURO to a new global audience. ENTICE MORE PEOPLE All Turkish people will want to be a part of this event. Also, during the time of the tournament, more than 10 million tourists will be in Turkey for summer vacation. Not only will we attract football fans to stay for a holiday, we will also encourage families on vacation to attend the games. This will open up further opportunities for UEFA. ATTRACT INVESTMENTS As a direct neighbour, we are the gateway to Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. We can access their markets and consumers more easily and attract their investment into football more effectively than any other European country. GENERATE FURTHER REVENUE Having chosen the eight best out of 37 stadiums constructed in Turkey in the last ten years, we will construct two brand-new stadiums designed with the highest quality of vision. The seats, with full visibility right up to the pitch, and the extra viewing galleries, will allow these stadiums to reach the highest capacity and maximise ticket revenues. All of our sites are state-owned, which means that there will be no rental fee. We will also have the flexibility to offer complimentary space for UEFA’s International Broadcast Centre (IBC). HOST THE MOST SUCCESSFUL TOURNAMENT TO DATE We are the only member country in the top 10 of the European economic powers and top 10 of European football markets that still has not hosted a EURO Tournament. This is Turkey's fourth consecutive bid. We are determined that this year will be our year, and we commit to hosting the best tournament ever. Our 2016 submission was a great bid. Despite not being awarded the tournament, we stood for our promises and continued to develop our infrastructure and football.
