Abstract
The purpose of this article is to compare overall market values of football national representations which took part in UEFA EURO 2016 in France. The total team market value is determined by combining all the team players' market value regardless of their participation in matches.
The highest market value was achieved by the national team of Spain, the lowest by the national team of Hungary. The overall team market value is related to success (failure) at EURO 2016 which is expressed by a total number of points gained.
There is an evident middle strong influence of team market value on the result gained at UEFA EURO 2016 based on the results of regression and correlation analysis. The value of the correlation coefficient is 0.61.
Another target was determining the effectiveness of national football teams at UEFA EURO 2016 as a proportion of the representation quality and the overall amount of points gained at the tournament. From this point of view the most effective team was that representing Hungary.
