A new study, “The impact of Lotteries as a funding source for European sport”, commissioned by The European Lotteries (EL) and carried out by SportsEconAustria outlines the extensive benefits of lottery funding for both European sports and the European economy as a whole.
“Through the EL-member payments to good causes on sport, a total Gross Value Added (GVA) of over 1.5 billion euro is generated in the EU. The contribution to the GDP is thus 0.01 percent, or in other words: every nine-thousandth euro generated in the EU can be traced back to the EL members’ payments for sports directly or indirectly.”
According to the study, in 2012 the contributions of EL members to sports-related good causes created over 25,000 jobs directly and 14,000 indirectly.
