The regulator has previously looked into behaviour and attitudes in the light of major football tournaments, including the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and for Euro 2024 it used cross-sectional tracking using the consultancy Yonder’s omnibus survey to ask a series of questions to a total of 6,237 people.

There were over 2,000 people participating in each of the three waves of the survey, with one taking place a week before the tournament, the next between the group stage and the knockout stages, and the final one a week after the tournament came to an end.
