This article examines attendance at league soccer matches before and after hosting an international soccer competition (the FIFA World Cup or the UEFA European Championships). We find significant increases in attendance at clubs that host games in these tournaments. We find smaller but often significant increases in attendance at other league clubs, suggesting that these events may drive fan interest. However, these results are patchy, and for some recent tournaments, they are negative. Our estimates of the private economic value of hosting, even in the most optimistic cases, are smaller than the cost of hosting as reported for recent tournaments.

公共资助的私人利益：FIFA世界杯，UEFA欧洲锦标赛和参加东道国联赛足球

本文探讨了举办国际足球比赛（FIFA世界杯或UEFA欧洲锦标赛）前后联赛足球比赛的出席情况。我们发现参加这些比赛的俱乐部的出席人数显着增加。我们发现其他联赛俱乐部的出勤人数增加但幅度较小，但通常很可观，这表明这些活动可能会引起球迷的兴趣。但是，这些结果是零散的，对于最近的一些比赛，它们是负面的。即使是在最乐观的情况下，我们对托管的私人经济价值的估计也比最近的比赛所报告的托管成本要小。
