Book Description
The UEFA European Football Championship 2008TM (EURO 2008) was the largest sports event ever organized in Switzerland.

This book offers an unprecedented resource for sports practitioners and researchers. It provides a wealth of data based on the study of existing scholarly literature, key strategic and conceptual documents as well as exclusive interviews with high-level executives involved in the organization of EURO 2008.
