UEFA's projected tournament finances published the total revenue of 1.93 Billion Euros ($2.13 Billion) for the expanded 24-team tournament.

"The numbers are positive," UEFA interim general secretary Theodore Theodoridis said at a news conference, adding that a larger event "was a big success."

Revenue is forecast to rise by 34% - earned from 20 extra matches - over Euro 2012, which had 16 teams and 31 matches played in Poland and Ukraine.
