  The core product of sport companies is the sporting event, while the core product of professional sport is international sporting events. Consumers, both active and passive, are the most important players in sporting events. In my research, I studied passive sport consumers. I wanted to get an idea of what the main reason(s) for not attending the sporting event were and what had the least impact on it. The UEFA 2020 European Football Championship matches in Budapest were the subject of the investigation. The questionnaire was conducted online using the snowball method. The questionnaire was based on previous passive sports consumption questionnaires. Nearly 150 responses were received. Respondents were typically in the 18-25 age group, with an almost equal proportion of men and women. By place of residence, they were mainly urban with average incomes. High ticket prices, high additional costs of participation, limited disposable income, other entertainment alternatives and convenience were cited as the main reasons for not attending. The least influential reason for not attending was the lack of COVID19 immunity card. Based on this pattern, it may be worthwhile to offer additional services in stadiums outside the match, even during halftime (halftime show), which could provide alternative entertainment, raise the quality of the matches, or creating ticket and/or season ticket promotions for women, couples. Almost half of the respondents fully support the organisation of further international sporting events in Hungary.

  The revenue-generating capacity of spectator team sports, especially European football, has developed significantly in recent decades. Europe's top teams, more than 700 clubs from 55 countries, have managed to generate annual revenues of more than €20 billion over the last 4 years. A significant part of European club football revenues comes from the Big 5 leagues. Of the 98 teams in the English, Spanish, German, Italian and French leagues, the top 20 clubs play a dominant role in generating revenues, accounting for 40% of total European revenues. Looking at the revenue structures, the most important sources of revenue are broadcast revenues and commercial and sponsorship revenues. Total revenues for European club football increased significantly in the pre-COVID period, averaging over 7% per year, but have slowed down significantly following the impact of COVID. The Polish league has experienced a significant decline, while the Hungarian league has seen a significant improvement in the period under review between 2017-2020, both in terms of aggregate revenues and average revenues per team. In my research, I present the development and distribution of the revenues of the Big 5, Hungarian and Polish leagues for the period 2017-2020.
