text: \n \n\n28.04.2021 (KA) – Axioma 188247 / 9037645   Seite 1 \n\n \n \n\nStadtratssitzung vom 24. Juni 2021 Postulat P 2/2021 \n \n \n \n\nPostulat betreffend professionelle Kunst am Objekt, Streetart usw. \nFraktion EVP+EDU+CVP vom 22. Januar 2021; Beantwortung \n \n \nWortlaut des Postulates \n \nDer Gemeinderat wird gebeten zu prüfen, ob und wo es Orte wie Unterführungen (z.B. Strättli-\ngenstrasse), Wände, Brücken, Plätze oder allenfalls sogar (Schul-)Häuser gibt, welche zur professi-\nonellen Gestaltung geeignet sind. Dabei soll er eine pragmatische, sinnvolle Form der Umsetzung \n(Projektwettbewerb, Häufigkeit (einmalig/wiederkehrend), Finanzierung (Ehre und Ruhm/Preis-\ngeld), usw.) vorschlagen und die möglichen Kosten je Projekt aufführen. Eine Vorgabe für einen \nWettbewerb könnte beispielsweise sein, dass die Kunst inhaltlich im weiten Sinne einen Thunbezug \naufweist und dadurch nicht „beliebig austauschbar“ ist. \n \n \n\nBegründung \n \nKunst am Objekt, Streetart usw. ist gelebte Kultur und hat – wenn sie entsprechend professionell \ninszeniert ist, eine weitereichende (auch mediale) Ausstrahlung und sogar touristische Wirkung. \nGerade in Corona-Zeiten sind solche Projekte Seelenbalsam und für KünstlerInnen ebenso bedeut-\nsam. Jugendliche in Thun haben uns auf die Idee des Vorstosses gebracht – sie identifizieren sich \nwohl am Stärksten mit diesen Kunstformen, was aber der Stadt Thun durchaus gut anstehen würde. \n \n \n\nZur Inspiration \n \nhttps://www.srf.ch/play/tv/jobtausch/video/kuenstler--sardinien-staffel-9-folge-4?urn=urn:srf:vi-\ndeo:b92a2a78-72d5-4f58-9606-c3f0bd221da5 \n \nhttps://www.bane-pest.ch/references/ \nhttps://www.redl.ch/urban-art-graffiti/walls/ \nhttps://www.urbanekunst.ch/de/ \nhttps://graffeur.ch/ \nhttp://graffiti-kunst.ch/ \nhttps://trompe-loeil.ch/category/tout/ \nhttps://graffiticino.ch/ \nhttps://graffitiartist.de/projekte/ \nhttps://xi-design.com/ \n  \n\nGEMEINDERAT \n \nRathaus, Postfach 145, 3602 Thun \nTelefon 033 225 82 20 \ngemeinderat@thun.ch \n \nthun.ch \n\nfile:///C:/Users/usrth0269/AppData/Local/Temp/CMIAXIOMA/View_7c5524f9174e4e12afd57339966eaa00/Sitzungsdatum%20wird%20von%20der%20Stadtkanzlei%20festgelegt%20und%20eingefügt\nfile:///C:/Users/usrth0269/AppData/Local/Temp/CMIAXIOMA/View_7c5524f9174e4e12afd57339966eaa00/Die%20einreichende%20Stelle%20ist%20verantwortlich%20für%20die%20materielle,%20formelle%20und%20sprachliche%20Vollständigkeit%20und%20Richtigkeit%20des%20Berichtes%20sowie%20der%20Beilagen.%20Die%20Stadtkanzlei%20behält%20sich%20aber%20redaktionelle%20Änderungen%20vor.%20Es%20gibt%20immer%20nur%20%20e%20i%20n%20e%20%20Fassung:%20die%20nach%20Einreichung%20bei%20der%20Stadtkanzlei%20abgespeicherte.%20Nach%20der%20Einreichung%20des%20Berichtes%20können%20Änderungen%20nur%20noch%20an%20%20d%20i%20e%20s%20e%20r%20%20Fassung%20erfolgen,%20z.B.%20aufgrund%20eines%20Korrekturauftrages.%20Neue%20Fassungen%20werden%20zurückgewiesen.\nhttps://www.srf.ch/play/tv/jobtausch/video/kuenstler--sardinien-staffel-9-folge-4?urn=urn:srf:video:b92a2a78-72d5-4f58-9606-c3f0bd221da5\nhttps://www.srf.ch/play/tv/jobtausch/video/kuenstler--sardinien-staffel-9-folge-4?urn=urn:srf:video:b92a2a78-72d5-4f58-9606-c3f0bd221da5\nhttps://www.bane-pest.ch/references/\nhttps://www.redl.ch/urban-art-graffiti/walls/\nhttps://www.urbanekunst.ch/de/\nhttps://graffeur.ch/\nhttp://graffiti-kunst.ch/\nhttps://trompe-loeil.ch/category/tout/\nhttps://graffiticino.ch/\nhttps://graffitiartist.de/projekte/\nhttps://xi-design.com/\n\n\nStadtrat von Thun - Sitzung vom 24.06.2021 - Postulat P 2/2021 - professionelle Kunst am Objekt, Streetart usw. \n\n28.04.2021 (KA) – Axioma 188247 / 9037645   Seite 2 \n\n \nStellungnahme des Gemeinderates \n \nProfessionelle Graffiti-Auftragsarbeiten können eine Fassade oder einen Raum durch ihre Farbig-\nkeit aufwerten und beim Publikum eine starke Wirkung und Attraktivität erzielen. Die Stadt Basel \nbeispielsweise wirbt auf ihrer offiziellen Website für Graffiti-Kunst Urban Art (basel.com). Solche \nGraffitis werden in der Regel auch respektiert und nicht mutwillig versprayt. \n \nIn Thun gestaltete Gerhard Nydegger bereits Ende der 1990er Jahre die Fussgänger-Unterführung \nbeim Bahnhof Gwatt mit einem professionellen Graffiti. Die Arbeit existiert heute noch und präsen-\ntiert sich soweit in einem guten Zustand. Weiter fand in den vergangenen Jahren in der Konzept-\nhalle 6 bzw. auf dem Areal der ehemaligen Schadaugärtnerei das propArt-Festival statt, das jeweils \nauch von der Stadt Thun finanziell unterstützt wurde (News - propART). \n \nBedauerlicherweise hat auch Thun laufend mit illegalen Sprayereien zu kämpfen (z.B. Fanmeile, \nStrandbad Thun). Es gilt jedoch, zwischen mutwilligen Sachbeschädigungen wie Schmierereien, \nTags etc., die mit hohen externen Reinigungskosten verbunden sind (2013 bis 2017 durchschnittlich \n74'000 Franken pro Jahr) und professionell gestalteten Graffitis zu unterscheiden. Erstere schaden \nleider dem Ruf der professionellen, legalen Graffitis. \n \nGrundsätzlich unterstützt der Gemeinderat die Idee der Postulantinnen und Postulanten und \nkommt dem Anliegen mit einem Pilotprojekt nach. Er hat hierzu mehrere Standorte wie Schulhäu-\nser und Unterführungen geprüft. Diese werden aus verschiedenen Gründen als weniger geeignet \nerachtet (Funktion als Durchgang, mehrere Eigentümerschaften, bereits bestehendes Gestaltungs-\nkonzept für Unterführungen, Denkmalpflege). Hingegen beurteilt der Gemeinderat das aareseitig \ngelegene Flussfenster (Betonwand) auf dem Mühleplatz als passend für ein Graffitiprojekt. Die \nWand ist im Eigentum der Stadt Thun und fällt in den Zuständigkeitsbereich des Tiefbauamtes. Mit \neinem professionellen Graffiti käme die Wand stärker zur Geltung und würde den Ort aufwerten. \nDas Pilotprojekt sieht vor, innerhalb von ca. sechs Jahren drei Wettbewerbe auf Einladung durch-\nzuführen. Zu jedem Wettbewerb werden jeweils vier bis fünf professionelle Graffiti-Künstlerinnen \nund -Künstler eingeladen, eine Projektskizze einzureichen. Das von einer Jury (bestehend aus Ver-\ntreterinnen und Vertretern von Verwaltung, Kunstschaffenden, Quartierorganisationen und Ju-\ngendlichen) ausgewählte Siegerprojekt wird realisiert und bleibt temporär, das heisst bis zum \nnächsten Wettbewerb, bestehen. Inhaltliche Eckwerte werden von der Jury definiert. Die Kosten \nbelaufen sich pro Wettbewerb auf ca. 10'000 Franken. Darin enthalten sind die Honorare für die \nProjektskizzen, Pauschalen für die externen Jurymitglieder, Materialkosten und das Honorar für das \nSiegerprojekt. Die Finanzierung erfolgt über die Kulturabteilung. Am Ende der Pilotphase wird das \nProjekt ausgewertet und entschieden, ob es weitergeführt werden soll oder sich allenfalls ein ähn-\nliches Projekt an einem anderen Ort realisieren liesse. Sollte es während der Pilotphase beim Fluss-\nfenster wider Erwarten Schwierigkeiten mit illegalen Sprayereien geben, behält sich der Gemein-\nderat vor, das Projekt vorzeitig abzubrechen. \n \nGraffiti-Kunst ist eine von vielen Formen von Kunst im öffentlichen Raum. Kunst im öffentlichen \nRaum ist ein Instrument der städtischen Kulturförderung. Temporäre wie permanente Projekte \nwerden in unregelmässigen Abständen von der Kulturabteilung in Zusammenarbeit mit anderen \nstädtischen Abteilungen initiiert, Letztere primär bei städtischen Um- und Neubauten. Kriterien für \ndie Initiierung sind die Publikumsfrequenz und die Relevanz des Ortes. Neben den Künstlerinnen \nund Künstlern wird auch das (lokale) Gewerbe – Handwerks-, Elektro-, Metallbaubetriebe etc. – \ndurch solche Projekte unterstützt, indem es für die Umsetzung beigezogen wird. \n\nhttps://www.basel.com/de/Urban-Art\nhttps://www.propart.ch/\n\n\nStadtrat von Thun - Sitzung vom 24.06.2021 - Postulat P 2/2021 - professionelle Kunst am Objekt, Streetart usw. \n\n28.04.2021 (KA) – Axioma 188247 / 9037645   Seite 3 \n\n \nIm Zusammenhang mit der Attraktivierung der Innenstadt käme mittelfristig auch die Postbrücke \nals Ort für eine künstlerische Gestaltung in Betracht. Dies bedarf aber noch eingehender Abklärun-\ngen. \n \n \nAntrag \nAnnahme. \n \n \nThun, 28. April 2021 \n \nFür den Gemeinderat der Stadt Thun \n \nDer Stadtpräsident  Die ao.

text: \n \n\n18.01.2023 (WIR) – Axioma / 9521065  Seite 1 \n\n \n \n \n\nStadtratssitzung vom 20. Januar 2023 Fragestunde F 1/2023 \n \n \n\nFragestunde betreffend ESP Thun Nord, Campus B5 \nMatthias Zellweger, PARTEILOS, vom 10. Januar 2023; Beantwortung \n \n \nWortlaut der Fragestunde \n \nDer Campus B5 ist in der Entwicklung und in der Umsetzung gegenüber der ursprünglichen zeitli-\nchen Ansage erkennbar im Verzug. Die schriftliche Nachfrage bei der HALTER AG hat ergeben, dass \nausschliesslich die Etappe «Empa» derzeit aktiv weiterverfolgt wird. Alle anderen Etappen werden \ntrotz der gestarteten Planungsphase nicht weiterverfolgt, resp. auf unbestimmte Zeiten ausgesetzt. \nAls Grund für das auf unbestimmte Zeiten Aussetzen wird angegeben, dass man festgestellt hat, \ndass die Kanalisationskapazität des Areals B5 nur für die Etappe «Empa» ausreichend ist. Die wei-\nteren Etappen können nicht angeschlossen werden, deshalb habe man entschieden die weitere \nEntwicklung zu stoppen. Da das Kanalisationsthema in der Verantwortung des Grundeigentümers \n(Bund) steht, müsse der Investor bis zur Kanalisationssicherstellung zuwarten. Es stellt sich die \nFrage, wie nach jahrelanger Planung erst heute festgestellt wird, dass die Arealentwicklung in Ab-\nhängigkeit der Kanalisationserschliessung steht. Sollte sich zeigen, dass sich das Thema der Kanali-\nsation als vorgeschobener Grund erweist, ist der Frage nachzugehen, warum der Investor die wei-\ntere Entwicklung stoppt? Liegt dies womöglich an der inhaltlich schwerlich umsetzbaren UeO? \n \nDer Gemeinderat wird gebeten, folgende Fragen zu beantworten: \n \n1. Per wann wird mit einer Baueingabe zur Etappe «Empa» gerechnet? \n2. Per wann wird mit der Baueingabe zu den weiteren Etappen gerechnet? \n3. In welcher Form wird der Gemeinderat positiv auf den Entwicklungsprozess einwirken, um die \n\nUmsetzung der weiteren Etappen zu beschleunigen? \n \n \nAntwort des Gemeinderates \n \n \n\nErläuterungen zur Gesamtsituation \n \nDie Entwicklung des kantonalen Premium-Entwicklungsschwerpunktes ESP Thun Nord ist für die \nStadt Thun und den Gemeinderat ein Vorhaben von grosser strategischer Bedeutung. Bei diesem \nAreal handelt es sich um eine Konversionsfläche, welche zu grossen Teilen von Armee- und armee-\nnaher Nutzung in eine zivile Nutzung überführt werden soll. Eine wesentliche Herausforderung da-\nbei ist, dass die vorhandene sichtbare und unsichtbare Infrastruktur nicht mit der künftigen Nut-\nzung vereinbar ist. \n  \n\nGEMEINDERAT \n \nRathaus, Postfach 145, 3602 Thun \nTelefon 033 225 82 20 \ngemeinderat@thun.ch \n \nthun.ch \n\nfile://///nfsdata.thun.lan/Thun$/1_P+F/15_FV/157_IDT/02_Projekte/571_GEVER/Vorlagen%20GR%20SR%20für%20Axioma/Sitzungsdatum%20wird%20von%20der%20Stadtkanzlei%20festgelegt%20und%20eingefügt.\n\n\nStadtrat von Thun - Sitzung vom 20.01.2023 - Bericht Nr. F 1/2023 – Campus B5 \n\n \n\n18.01.2023 (WIR) – Axioma / 9521065  Seite 2 \n\n \nLangfristig geht es dabei um die komplexe Entwicklung eines neuen Stadtteils der Stadt Thun mit \nzahlreichen weitreichenden Abhängigkeiten. Ein elementarer Bestandteil ist beispielsweise die vor-\ngesehene S-Bahnhaltestelle Thun Nord, welche in den Ausbauschritt 2035 der Bahninfrastruktur \naufgenommen wurde. Die Entwicklung des Baufeldes B5 zum «B5 Campus» stellt der erste Schritt \nin diesem Entwicklungsprozess dar und ist ein Teil eines grösseren Ganzen. \n \nDie Entwicklung des Baufeldes B5 wurde Anfang Jahr 2019 mit einem strukturierten Ausschrei-\nbungsverfahren gestartet, welches am Ende zu Halter AG als Entwicklungspartnerin führte. Halter \nAG gewann den Wettbewerb mit einem überzeugenden Konzept. Basierend auf dem Projektvor-\nschlag von Halter AG wurde daraufhin die Projektierung gestartet, was im Herbst 2022 die Bauein-\ngabereife der Etappe 1 (Empa) zur Folge hatte. \n \nParallel dazu haben sich zwischen dem Ausschreibungsverfahren und der Finalisierung des Bauge-\nsuchs die Rahmenbedingungen in beträchtlichem Ausmass verändert. Darunter lassen sich zusam-\nmenfassen: weltweite COVID-19 Pandemie, beeinträchtigte internationale Lieferketten, erhebliche \nZinsveränderung, fragile Energiesicherheit, Preisanstieg für Baustoffe, Inflation in neuer Dimension, \nKriegsausbruch auf europäischem Boden und Verschärfung des Fachkräftemangels. Als Folge davon \nist die Risikobereitschaft von Investoren erheblich zurückgegangen. Gleichzeitig wurden bei der \nprojektinternen Detailerarbeitung Erkenntnisse gewonnen, welche die Entwicklung zusätzlich er-\nschwert haben. Beispiele dafür sind die zu Beginn durch den Entwicklungspartner getroffenen An-\nnahmen, welche sich teilweise als unzutreffend erwiesen haben, veränderte Bedürfnisse der Empa \noder das Bekanntwerden grösserer Hürden bei der Versorgung des Areals mit Fernenergie. Die vom \nVerfasser der Fragestunde erwähnte Kapazität der Kanalisation auf dem ehemaligen Armeeareal \ndes ESP Thun Nord, welche sich für gewisse künftige Nutzungen als ungenügend herausgestellt hat, \nist ein weiteres Beispiel. Zusammenfassend kann festgehalten werden, dass sich sowohl die gene-\nrellen Rahmenbedingungen als auch verschiedene Projektparameter deutlich zu Ungunsten des \nProjektes «B5 Campus» verändert haben. \n \nAufgrund der Langfristigkeit des kantonalen ESP-Programmes und der strategischen Bedeutung des \nAreals ist der Gemeinderat der Auffassung, dass den inzwischen massgeblich veränderten Rahmen-\nbedingungen Rechnung getragen muss. Bereits in der Antwort auf die Interpellation I 9/2021 be-\ntreffend dem Baufeld B5 im ESP Thun Nord hat der Gemeinderat dargelegt, dass er sich vorbehält, \ndas Vorgehen und auch die Zielsetzungen für das Projekt «B5 Campus» bei wesentlichen Verände-\nrungen der Rahmenbedingungen anzupassen. Ebenso hat der Gemeinderat festgehalten, dass er \ngewillt ist, die für den Gesamtprozess erforderliche Geduld aufzubringen. Der Gemeinderat wird \nsich deshalb im ersten Halbjahr 2023 intensiv mit dem Thema ESP Thun Nord und möglichen Alter-\nnativszenarien auseinandersetzen, welche den veränderten Rahmenbedingungen Rechnung tra-\ngen. \n \n \nZu Frage 1: Per wann wird mit einer Baueingabe zur Etappe «Empa» gerechnet? \n \nDie Baueingabereife für die Etappe 1 (Empa) wurde im Herbst 2022 erreicht. Ein Baugesuch kann \nmit geringen Anpassungen grundsätzlich gestellt werden. Der Gemeinderat wird in Absprache mit \ndem Entwicklungspartner und der Empa entscheiden, wann dafür der geeignete Zeitpunkt ist. \n\n\n\nStadtrat von Thun - Sitzung vom 20.01.2023 - Bericht Nr. F 1/2023 – Campus B5 \n\n \n\n18.01.2023 (WIR) – Axioma / 9521065  Seite 3 \n\nVoraussetzung dafür ist insbesondere, dass die Finanzierung trotz wesentlicher Änderungen der \nRahmenbedingungen gesichert und die Bauträgerschaft klar ist. \n \n \nZu Frage 2: Per wann wird mit der Baueingabe zu den weiteren Etappen gerechnet? \n \nNachfolgende Etappen werden sich in geeigneter Form und zu gegebenem Zeitpunkt an die Etappe \n1 (Empa) anschliessen. \n \n \nZu Frage 3: In welcher Form wird der Gemeinderat positiv auf den Entwicklungsprozess einwir-\nken, um die Umsetzung der weiteren Etappen zu beschleunigen? \n \nDer Gemeinderat steht in intensivem Kontakt mit den beteiligten Partnern und wird sich mit Weit-\nblick und Vernunft mit der weiteren Entwicklung befassen. Trotz schwierigem Umfeld sieht der Ge-\nmeinderat langfristig grosse Chancen in der Entwicklung des ESP Thun Nord, welche er nicht durch \nkurzfristig motivierte, aber die Entwicklung negativ präjudizierende Entscheide beeinträchtigen \nmöchte. \n \n \nThun, 18.

We have been laying the groundwork for some time to \nensure that this tournament will not only break records but will be a \nthrilling spectacle of world-class talent, providing an unmissable fan \nexperience, and truly unleashing the full potential of women’s football. \n\nThe importance of UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 in helping us achieve \nour bold goals outlined in UEFA’s Time for Action women’s football \nstrategy (2019-2024) cannot be understated. Together with the \nEnglish Football Association (The FA), our host cities and partners, \nwe are confident of delivering a first-class tournament where world-\nclass players and teams will attract global attention and media \ncoverage, ultimately leaving a legacy which inspires more women and \ngirls to be involved with our game. \n\nThis pre-tournament report proves that the impact won’t stop with the \nfinal whistle at Wembley. UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 has a unique chance \nto be a catalyst for change locally, nationally, across Europe and beyond. \nThe tournament and our collective ambition will positively impact local \neconomies and tourism, people and communities and the global visibility \nof the women’s game, whilst providing valuable inspiration for the future. \nLet’s make it happen. \n\nNadine Kessler \nUEFA Chief of Women’s Football\n\nUEFA FOREWORD\nIt’s understandably a year late, but our enthusiasm for hosting UEFA \nWomen’s EURO 2022 has not been affected. In fact, I believe the \ndelay has energised us even further. \n\nWith under a year to go until the Tournament gets underway, this \nreport highlights what we can achieve with a continued focus on \ncapitalising on the opportunities offered by UEFA Women’s EURO \n2022 and importantly how we can measure our success.\n\nOur aim is twofold: to deliver a record-breaking tournament and \nto leave a tangible legacy to grow the women’s game. By inspiring \nfans at home and abroad, and by committing to provide playing \nopportunities to girls in every school and club across the country, \nI am confident we can deliver on both aims.\n\nOur confidence is built on the passion with which our Host Cities are \nseizing the opportunity to shine a light on women’s and girls’ football \nand build a new generation of players, coaches, referees and fans. \nIn turn, we want to see the amazing work of the Host Cities radiate \nnationwide as part of our wider strategy to ensure a positive and \nsustainable future for women’s and girls’ football in England.\n\nBaroness Sue Campbell DBE \nThe FA’s Director of Women’s Football\n\nFA FOREWORD\n\n1Grasping the Opportunity – Pre-tournament Impact Report  |\n\n\n\nEXECUTIVE \nSUMMARY\n\n2\n2Grasping the Opportunity – Pre-tournament Impact Report  |\n\n\n\nINTRODUCTION\nThis pre-event impact report focuses on the expected impact of \nthe UEFA European Women’s Championship 2022 (UEFA Women’s \nEURO 2022). This report aims to highlight what the tournament can \nachieve with the continued support and effort of stakeholders from \nacross football and wider society, and the key measures of success. \nThis report will provide a reference point for the measurement of the \nimpact of the tournament in the years ahead. \n\nThis report was commissioned by The FA, UEFA and UK Sport, \nand delivered by EY. The findings presented have been informed \nby a review of existing plans and budgets for UEFA Women’s \nEURO 2022, evidence of the impacts of comparable events and \ndiscussions with Tournament stakeholders.\n\nUEFA Women’s EURO 2022 represents a huge opportunity to \ndrive a further step change in women’s football in Europe, \nEngland and beyond, from grassroots participation \nthrough to the highest levels of the professional game. \nUEFA Women’s EURO 2022 brings the Tournament \nback to England for the first time since 2005, at a time \nwhen interest in the game is at an all time high and \nthe nation has had limited opportunities to attend \nlive sport. \n\nThere are many channels through which UEFA \nWomen’s EURO 2022 can drive positive impacts \nthrough football participation, wider society, \nand the economy. The key impact findings are \nsummarised opposite.\n\nKEY FINDINGS OF THIS REPORT\nThis report finds that UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 is expected to:\n\n3\n\n6\n\n5\n\n2\n\n1\n\n4\n\nDeliver a safe and engaging event, exceeding a total \nattendance of 480,000, with a stretch target of 525,000  \n\nPromote positive perceptions of women’s football in the UK, \nwith 51% of football fans planning to watch matches\n\nProvide more than 500,000 inclusive opportunities for \nwomen and girls to participate and engage with football \nthrough focused efforts of the Legacy Groups within each of \nthe Host Cities\n\nDeliver £54 million of economic activity to the Host \nCities and support 96,000 international fans to visit\n\nPromote positive social impacts across the Host Cities, and \nEngland more broadly, through growth in participation, the \nactivities of over 5,500 volunteers, and the power of sport \nto bring communities closer together\n\nPromote positive perceptions of the Host Cities, England \nand the UK, as the Tournament ignites engagement with \nan expected live international broadcast audience of over \n250 million across 195 territories\n\n3Grasping the Opportunity – Pre-tournament Impact Report  |\n\n\n\nTHE \nOPPORTUNITY \nIN CONTEXT\n\n3\n4Grasping the Opportunity – Pre-tournament Impact Report  |\n\n\n\nTIME FOR ACTION: UEFA WOMEN’S FOOTBALL STRATEGY 2019-20241  \n\nIn 2019, for the first time in its history, UEFA launched a \ndedicated women’s football strategy. This plan commits UEFA \nto a five-year strategic framework with the aim of supporting, \nguiding and lifting women’s football and the position of \nwomen in football across Europe.\n\n“Women’s football is the football \nof today. It is not the football of \ntomorrow. It is UEFA’s duty as \nEuropean football’s governing \nbody to empower the women’s \ngame. UEFA will put significant \nfinancial investment into the \nsport, underlining that it dares \nto aim high and make European \nfootball as great as it can be. \nThe actions that we propose and \ncommit to in 2019 will lead to a \ngreater, more professional and \nmore prosperous game by 2024. \nTime for action.”\n\nAleksander Čeferin (2019) \nUEFA president\n\nThe UEFA women’s football strategy aims to reach \nthe following goals by 2024:\n\nDouble the number of women and girls \nplaying football in UEFA’s member \nassociations to 2.5 million\n\nChange the perceptions of women’s \nfootball across Europe\n\nDouble the reach and value of UEFA \nWomen’s EURO and the UEFA Women’s \nChampions League\n\nImprove player standards by reaching \nstandard agreements for national team \nplayers and putting safeguarding policies \nin place in all 55 member associations\n\nDouble female representation on all \nUEFA bodies\n\n1. UEFA\n\n5Grasping the Opportunity – Pre-tournament Impact Report  |\n\n\n\nUEFA want to ensure that they invest in important key projects which will help them strive towards achieving the achieving their goals by 2024. \nUEFA Women’s EURO 2022, along with other major initiatives, such as changes to the UEFA Women’s Champions League, a new format for \ninternational youth competitions, and the introduction of new grassroots programme UEFA Playmakers, is key to the success of the Time for \nAction strategy.  \n\n�THE BEST AND BIGGEST EUROPEAN \nWOMEN’S FOOTBALL EVENT \n\nTogether, with The FA, UEFA have set out \nto host the biggest and best women’s \nfootball event. UEFA Women’s EURO \n2022 provides a unique opportunity to be \na catalyst for change, and to promote the \nevolution and prosperity of the women’s \ngame. \n\nINCREASED TOURNAMENT \nSTANDARDS\n\nUEFA’s collective vision puts the players \nat the heart of their ambitions for the \ntournament. Therefore, UEFA believes \nthis will enable high quality operational \ndelivery and the implementation of \nprofessional standards on and off the \npitch. This environment will provide the \nplayers an opportunity to showcase \nthe very best of their talent across the \nworld through inspirational, competitive \nand engaging matches – setting a new \nbenchmark for European women’s sports \nevents.\n\nINCREASING PARTICIPATION \n\nUEFA Women’s EURO 2022 will build \non the fantastic work of football \nassociations, regions, clubs and other \nstakeholders that have all committed to \ndeveloping the women’s game and set \nit on the trajectory that it is currently \non. UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 will \ninspire future generations not only in \nthe host country of England, but across \nEurope and worldwide to play football, \nthus contributing to the goal of driving \nparticipation, to reach 2.5 million female \nplayers across Europe.  \n\nDOUBLING REACH \n\nWith more eyes expected than ever \nbefore, UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 takes \ncentre stage as the showpiece summer \nsporting event of 2022. The visibility of \nwomen’s football will be immense. More \nfans will have the opportunity to watch \nin the stadiums and on television and \nmore broadcasters and media outlets will \nprovide an unprecedented platform for \nEuropean women’s football to continue to \nattract a diverse and growing audience.  \n\nDOUBLING VALUE \n\nAs the prominence of the women’s \ngame increases backed by the work and \nactivation of UEFA’s dedicated sponsors \nand partners, the commercial value of \nwomen’s football has already broken \nUEFA’s 2019 targets.  With increased \npromotion and visibility to amplify the \ngame coming in 2022 and beyond, the \ncommercial value of women’s football is \nexpected to continue to rise even further. \n\nDISTRIBUTING MORE INTO THE \nGAME\n\nUEFA is providing further financial and \nsporting incentive to the competition \nby doubling the prize pot on offer for \nparticipating teams and introducing \ncompensation to clubs who release their \nplayers for the final tournament. This \nensures that more money than ever \nbefore is redistributed into the sport to \nencourage its long-term development. \n\n6Grasping the Opportunity – Pre-tournament Impact Report  |\n\n\n\nThe Tournament will be back in England for the first time \nsince 2005, at a time aligned with the growing status of \nwomen’s competitions and the nation also returning to attend \nlive sporting events. With a focus on driving long term and \ninclusive growth in women’s football, UEFA Women’s EURO \n2022 can achieve impacts on and off the pitch that extend far \nbeyond the 26 days of competition. \n\nGROWING THE PROFESSIONAL GAME\nAt the professional level of the game, women’s football has \nstrengthened remarkably in recent years. Attendance figures \nfrom Women’s Super League (WSL) matches reached almost \n270,000 in 2019-20. \n\nBroadcast interest in women’s football has likewise increased, \nwith The FA WSL reaching a landmark agreement with \nthe BBC and Sky that will result in WSL matches reaching \ngreater audiences than ever before. This is reflected in the \ncommitments to broadcast 22 live WSL matches, 18 of which \non BBC1 or BBC2. UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 can build on \nthis momentum to showcase the best of women’s football to \nnew and existing fans across England. The BBC has secured \nrights to the Tournament in England, with live free to air \nbroadcast of every game expected to engage new audiences \nand support growth in WSL attendance once fans are \npermitted to return in full. \n\nof football fans \nhave an interest in \nwomen’s football3\n\n66%\n\nof football fans are \naware of the FA WSL \n\nand 15% plan to attend \nfuture games3\n\n67%\n\n2.

A similar difference is \nnoted across Europe, with 14.2 million under-18 and over-18 \nmen who are active registered club players, compared to 1.4 \nmillion under and over-18 women.5\n\nThe FA has identified a range of activities and objectives to \nhelp boost participation rates amongst women and girls, \npromoting inclusive opportunities to engage with the game \nas part of The FA’s Women’s and Girls’ Football Strategy (see \non right).

These \nmeasures help to frame the expectations for UEFA Women’s \nEURO 2022 with one year to go to the Tournament and \nprovide a basis of measuring the success after its completion. \nThis section summarises the main categories of impact \nmeasures, and presents pre-event expectations within each of \nthese categories.\n\nEach of the impact categories are summarised in turn:\n\n1.\tDeliver operational success: to deliver a safe, engaging \nevent, with record breaking attendance and viewership, \nreceived positively by spectators and wider audiences.\n\n2.\tGrow the professional game: to enhance perceptions \nof women’s football, strengthen interest and attract new \naudiences to the game.\n\n3.\tDrive inclusive grassroots participation: to be a game-\nchanger for women’s football in England, inspiring greater \nparticipation and driving inclusive and sustainable access to \nparticipation opportunities for women and girls of all ages \nthrough football in schools and communities, engaging with \nunder-represented groups.\n\n4.\tSupport host economies and tourism: to support \nthe England and Host City economies, by attracting \ninternational and domestic tourism, promoting England \nand Host Cities as visitor destinations, driving high street \nfootfall.\n\n5.\tPromote positive social impact: to promote social \nimpacts through greater participation in grassroots \nfootball, through legacy initiatives targeted at local needs \nand by encouraging greater community engagement \nthrough the Tournament.\n\n6.\tEnhance international perceptions of England and the \nUK: to set a positive example for future tournaments to \nfollow and make positive impressions on international \nvisitors and audiences.\n\nThe timeline over which the impacts take place and can \nbe measured varies across categories. For example, the \noperational success of UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 will be \nlargely apparent by the end of the tournament, while growth \nin the professional game and participation will take longer \nto measure robustly. For this reason, a full impact study will \nbe published in the summer of 2023, with legacy activities \ncontinuing to monitor impacts until the end of their planned \nactivity timeline in 2024 and beyond. The timeline below \nsummarises key milestones of the tournament, Legacy Group \nactivities, and impact measurement.\n\nThe remainder of this section presents impact expectations \nfor the Tournament, seeking to isolate the impacts that would \nnot materialise had the Tournament taken place elsewhere. \nIn the case of economic impacts in particular, a range of \npotential outcomes are considered based upon scenarios for \nmatch attendance and international visitor numbers, as well \nas other factors which are difficult to accurately quantify but \nnonetheless influence total impacts.\n\nDelivering \noperational \n\nsuccess\n\nGrowing the \nprofessional \n\ngame\n\nDriving \ninclusive \n\ngrassroots \nparticipation\n\nSupporting \nhost \n\neconomies and \ntourism\n\nPromoting \npositive social \n\nimpact\n\nEnhancing \ninternational \n\nperceptions of \nEngland and \n\nthe UK\n\nMeasuring \nimpact\n\nTIMELINE OF IMPACT\n\n2020 2021 2022 2023 2024\n\nUEFA \nWomen’s \nEURO 2022\n\nLegacy \nGroups \nformed\n\nLegacy \nactivity \nunderway\n\nTargets \nannounced\n\nEnd of \nlegacy \nprogrammes\n\nThe Tournament\n\nLegacy Programme\n\nKey measurement \nmilestones\n\nFlash \nimpact \nreview\n\nPost event \nimpact \nstudy\n\nPre-event \nexpectations\n\n14Grasping the Opportunity – Pre-tournament Impact Report  |\n\n\n\n1. OPERATIONAL SUCCESS\n\nAt its core, UEFA Women's EURO 2022 is about \nshowcasing the best of women’s football and providing \nfans with an engaging and entertaining sporting \nspectacle. The more easily fans are able to access \nTournament information, purchase tickets, and find their \nway to the game, the more that the action on the pitch \ncan take centre stage. The operational success impact \ncategory aims to assess these outcomes, based on the \nlevel of attendance achieved and the feedback of fans in \nthe lead up to and during their matchday experience.\n\nTotal attendance across the Tournament is expected to \nrange between 435,000 to 525,000. The Central case \nscenario anticipates total attendance across the Tournament \nof 480,000, an average of over 15,000 per match. These \npotential attendance outcomes are based on the assumption \nthat all COVID-19 related international travel restrictions and \nstadium capacity constraints will no longer be in effect at the \ntime of the Tournament.\n\nThere are over 700,000 tickets available, making this the \nlargest UEFA Women’s European Championship to date. To \nencourage attendance, tickets are priced from £5-£50, with \nover half a million tickets available for £25 or less, while a \nfamily of four will be able to attend from £30. A schools and \ncommunities programme is planned for 2022 that will help to \nboost attendance and provide opportunities for girls and boys \nto engage with the game. Tickets were offered through a pre-\nsale window for the first time, with strong demand surpassing \nsales targets at this early stage.\n\nThe Tournament has ambitions to break attendance records, \nwith the opening match at Old Trafford and the final at \n\nWembley expected to attract substantial crowds. The current \nrecord attendance for a UEFA Women’s EURO fixture is 41,301 \n(at the 2013 Final in Sweden), while the record attendance for \na EURO match (Men’s or Women’s) currently stands at 79,115 \n(Madrid, 1964).\n\nComparing attendances across competitions is challenging, \nas each event takes place in its own time and context, with its \nown objectives and differing constraints on stadium capacity. \nNevertheless, overall attendance is an important driver of \nimpact. On the headline measure of total attendance, the \nTournament is expected to represent a substantial increase \ncompared to the previous UEFA Women’s EURO, held in the \nNetherlands in 2017, which reached a total attendance of \n240,055 fans. \n\nFan zones are expected to be set up throughout the \nTournament to provide areas for greater fan engagement, for \nboth ticket holders and non-ticket holders. In total, these fan \nzones are expected to host 300,000 fans.\n\nUEFA Women's EURO 2022 attendance scenarios \ncompared to recent women’s football tournaments \nheld in Europe15\n\n48\n0,\n\n00\n0\n\n0\n\n100,000\n\n200,000\n\n300,000\n\n400,000\n\n500,000\n\n600,000\n\nN\nor\n\nw\nay\n\n &\nSw\n\ned\nen\n\n 1\n99\n\n7\n\nG\ner\n\nm\nan\n\ny \n2\n\n00\n1\n\nEn\ngl\n\nan\nd \n\n20\n05\n\nFi\nnl\n\nan\nd \n\n20\n09\n\nSw\ned\n\nen\n 2\n\n01\n3\n\nN\net\n\nhe\nrl\n\nan\nds\n\n2\n01\n\n7\n\nA\nverage spectators per M\n\natch\n\nN\num\n\nbe\nr \n\nof\n S\n\npe\nct\n\nat\nor\n\ns\n\nOther UEFA Women's EURO UEFA Women's EURO 2022\n\nUEFA Women's EURO 2022 Stretch Average Spectators per Match\n\nUEFA Women's EURO 2022 Conservative\n\nU\nEF\n\nA\n W\n\nom\nen\n\n's\nEU\n\nR\nO\n\n 2\n0\n\n22\nC\n\nen\ntr\n\nal\n (T\n\nar\nge\n\nt)\n\n 2,000\n\n-\n\n 4,000\n\n 6,000\n\n 8,000\n\n 10,000\n\n 12,000\n\n 14,000\n\n 16,000\n\nOBTAINING FEEDBACK FROM FANS\n\n15. �UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 scenarios include VIP, sponsor and all other ticket allocations. \nSources: The FA, UEFA.\n\nNegative Neutral Positive\n\n•\t Availability and quality of Tournament and matchday \ninformation \n\n•\t Efficiency of ticket purchase process\n\n•\t Accessibility\n\n•\t Food and beverage availability and value for money\n\n•\t Travel to and from match\n\n•\t Overall experience\n\nMatchday\n\nPre-match\n\nFans will be given the opportunity to \nprovide feedback on their UEFA Women’s \nEURO 2022 experience.\n\nThis will include compiling fan profiles to \nunderstand how fan experience differs \naccording to different characteristics.\n\nThis will support learnings across \neach of the host venues and for future \nTournaments.\n\n15Grasping the Opportunity – Pre-tournament Impact Report  |\n\n\n\nATTENDANCE\nAttendance at FA WSL matches has risen substantially within \nthe past decade, as the format of the league has changed and \ninterest in the game has increased. In 2019-20 in particular, \ntotal attendance reached almost 270,000. While 2019-20 \nattendance was boosted by five particularly high attendances \nfor matches held at high capacity stadia, 2019-20 represented \na record season for WSL attendance even excluding these \nmatches.\n\nBROADCASTING\nThe growing popularity of popularity women’s football is \nreflected in increased demand from broadcasters. A rights \ndeal that will see more access to live women’s football than \never before from the 2021-22 season was signed by The \nFA, Sky Sports and the BBC, allowing broadcast rights to FA \nWomen’s Super League football.\n\nUnder the terms of the deal, the BBC has the right to show \nup to 44 matches, with a minimum of 35 being screened \n\nacross key Sky Sports channels. The BBC has also made a \ncommitment to bring the league to even more viewers by \nshowcasing 22 live games per season, with a minimum of 18 \nmatches on mainstream, free-to-air channels, BBC One and \nBBC Two. Previously, games have been shown live on BBC \niPlayer and Red Button.17 UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 will see \ncoverage of women’s football continue to grow on the BBC, \nas the BBC secured exclusive rights to UEFA Women’s EURO \n2022 in England, where every game will be broadcast live on \nBBC TV.18\n\nSPONSORSHIP\nAnother key measure associated with the professional game is \nthe commercial interest in women’s football, and the growth \nin commercial revenues associated with the game, which will \nlargely come from sponsorship deals. Between 2013 and \n2017, the number of sponsorship deals in women’s sport \nincreased by 37%, whilst the revenue created through these \ndeals increased by 49%.19\n\n2. THE PROFESSIONAL GAME\n\nUEFA Women's EURO 2022 will shine a spotlight on \nwomen’s football in England like never before. The \nintroduction of new audiences to women’s football, \nand showcasing of the best the sport has to offer, \nhas the potential to broaden the appeal of women’s \nfootball and provide a platform for further growth in the \nprofessional game.\n\nThe professional game impact category will measure the \ninfluence that the tournament has on attitudes towards \nelite women’s football. This will include measurement \nof the broadcast audiences reached, feedback of \ntournament audiences on their attitudes towards the \ngame, and the evolution of attendances at WSL matches. \nRecent trends and evidence in relation to these areas of \nthe professional game is summarised below.\n\nTotal match attendance by WSL season16\n\n16. �The 2017 Spring Series was an interim edition of The FA WSL between the sixth and seventh \nfull seasons.

INCLUSIVE GRASSROOTS PARTICIPATION\n\nNATIONAL LEGACY PLAN\nThe UEFA Women's EURO 2022 Legacy Plan aims to increase \nparticipation and volunteering opportunities in women’s \nfootball, both in Host Cities and on a national level. The \nLegacy Groups themselves are seeking to create more than \n500,000 new opportunities to engage women and girls across \nUEFA Women's EURO 2022 by 2024, with the potential to \ndeliver the outcomes highlighted below.23\n\nThe legacy strategies are supported by strong evidence of \nthe appetite amongst women and girls to play more football. \nResearch undertaken by The FA suggests that that 57% of \n\nA range of participation-focused initiatives are running \nnationally and within Host Cities to capitalise on the \nTournament and provide opportunities for sustainable \ngrowth in grassroots football participation amongst \nwomen and girls from all backgrounds.

ECONOMY AND TOURISM\n\nThere are many factors which underpin the ultimate economic \nimpact of UEFA Women's EURO 2022. Key among these are \nthe level of attendance at the Tournament and the origin \nof the spectators in attendance, assumptions for which are \nshown above.\n\nFor the purposes of the economic impact analysis, \nConservative, Central and Stretch match attendance scenarios \nare used to present impact ranges, with higher attendance \ndriving greater economic impacts.\n\nHigher representation of international visitors amongst \nmatch attendees also drives greater economic impacts. This \nis because their expenditure during their visit is considered \nwholly additional to the Host City, and to England more \nbroadly. International visitors also generally tend to have \nhigher levels of spending per match attended, in part due to \ngreater spend on accommodation.\n\nVarying the drivers of economic impact under different \nscenarios provides an indication of the potential economic \nimpact of UEFA Women's EURO 2022. This can be illustrated \nthrough expected Gross Value Added (GVA) across the Host \nCities, which captures the direct impacts of visitor and event \ndelivery spending, but also further impacts supported through \nlocal supply chains and by employment incomes.\n\nUnder Central case assumptions, the total GVA impact of \nUEFA Women's EURO 2022 across all Host Cities reaches \n£54m. This falls to £50m under the Conservative scenario, \nand rises to £62m under the Stretch scenario.27\n\nFor individual Host Cities, relatively greater impact can be \nachieved where visitors (both international and domestic) \nfrom outside of their area have opportunities to spend more \ntime within the local area as part of their matchday visit, \nbenefitting local businesses and driving economic activity.\n\nThe economic benefits of hosting UEFA Women's EURO \n2022 are driven by a number of elements, ranging from \nthe expenditure incurred to deliver the Tournament, \nto the number of match attendees, the proportion of \ninternational visitors amongst these attendees and the \nspending patterns of visitors during their stay. A range \nof potential impacts under the economy and tourism \ncategory are presented opposite, alongside a Central case.\n\nKey drivers of economic impact rangesGVA impacts across Host Cities, £m\n\nAttendance\n\nInternational \nattendance %\n\n15%\n\n£50m\n\n£54m\n\n£62m\n\n20% 30%\n\n525,000435,000 480,000\n\nConservative Central Stretch\n\nConservative Central Stretch\n\n27.

The impact \nassessment seeks to identify impacts that can \nreasonably be considered to caused by the \nTournament. There are three primary adjustments \nwhich influence the estimated impacts from this \nperspective:\n\n•\t Visitor origin: only expenditure of people who \nlive outside of the Host City (“visitors”) is included \nwithin the impact assessment . This is based on \nthe assumption that local residents would likely \nhave purchased goods and services locally in the \nabsence of the Tournament.\n\n•\t Visitor purpose: in order for visitor spending \nto be attributed to UEFA Women's EURO 2022 \nthe visitor must view their Tournament as the \nprimary reason for their visit.\n\n•\t Delivery expenditure: adjustments are made to \nreflect the additionality of revenue and funding \nthat enables delivery. For example, international \nticket revenues are considered additional to \nEngland, whereas central government funding \nis not.\n\nKey characteristicsImpact drivers Direct, indirect and induced impacts\n\n•\t Attendance by match\n\n•\t Local, non-local and \ninternational fan attendance\n\n•\t Primary visit purpose\n\n•\t Day trips v/s overnight stays\n\n•\t Spend per day / per night\n\n•\t Total spend and breakdown by \nHost City\n\n•\t Source of funding (domestic v/s \ninternational\n\n•\t Origin of officials\n\n•\t Length of visit\n\n•\t Spend per day of visit\n\n•\t Gross expenditure by source\n\n•\t Net expenditure by Host City\n\n•\t Direct local and national GVA \nand employment impacts \nbased on additionality of \nexpenditure\n\n•\t Indirect and induced GVA and \nemployment impacts, based \non local and national economic \nlinkages\n\n480,000 \nAttendees\n\n800 \nAnnual full time \nequivalent jobs \n\nsupported \nlocally\n\n96,000 \nInternational \n\nattendees\n\n190,000 \nDomestic visitor \n\ntrips\n\n7,000 \nAccredited \npersonnel \n\nsupporting the \nTournament\n\n£54m \nGVA boost to \n\nhost  \neconomies\n\n£25m \nTotal event \n\ndelivery budget  \nin England\n\n£28m \nInternational and \ndomestic visitor \n\nspending\n\n\t\n\nDe\nliv\n\ner\ny\n\n\t\n\nVisitor econom\ny\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\nImpacts\n\nCentral \ncase \n\neconomic \nimpact\n\nVisitor \nspending\n\nOrganiser \nspend\n\nAccredited \nofficials\n\n20Grasping the Opportunity – Pre-tournament Impact Report  |\n\n\n\n5.
