Italian football fans were least optimistic about their chances in the #Euros, and turns out, they were right. What about the other nations’ team – will optimism levels predict who wins? Ahead of the #2024 #Euros, Brand Finance asked people in England, Italy, Germany, France, and Spain whether they agree with the statement: “My national team will win the UFEA Euro 2024 competition.” Italy was the least optimistic, with 55% of respondents agreeing they’d take the trophy, and sure enough, they were knocked out of the tournament by Switzerland in the round of 16. The most optimistic team is Spain, with a whopping 84% feeling optimistic, followed by France, then Germany, then England. This coming weekend will be a telling one, with Germany, Spain and France all vying for a semi-final spot on Friday, while England fans will have to wait until Saturday to find out if they’ll be one step closer to the title. We’ll definitely check back in on Monday, but until then, another interesting data point – when it comes to their country’s teams’ chances in the Euros, women are more optimistic than men. This data is analysis of Brand Finance's latest #sports research study, which collected insights into fans’ perceptions of multiple sports, leagues, clubs and their engagement patterns. This is used by Brand Finance to understand the strength of sporting brands, as well as how these rights-holders can benefit the brands of their sponsors. #Football #UEFA #Sports #BrandFinance
