Cheferin: We have lost 7 billion euros in the last two years, but we will continue to be strong

According to the BBC, although UEFA said that European football has lost 7 billion euros (5.83 billion pounds) in revenue in the past two years due to the new crown epidemic, UEFA president Cheferin said that European football will continue to remain "strong, stable and united."" ”

European football lost 4 billion euros in 2019-20 and 3 billion euros in 2020-21. Due to empty matches, 4.4 billion euros were lost in ticket revenue, 1.7 billion euros in commercial sponsorship and 900 million euros in tv rights revenue.

Cheferin believes that since the fans have returned to the stadium to watch the game, there is reason to be optimistic about the future.

"One of the lessons we have learned from the last two years is that only by showing solidarity and working together can European football overcome challenges such as the pandemic."

"Although we have lost a lot, no matter how the epidemic develops, European football will continue to be strong, stable and united in 2022."
