The FIFA World Cup final brought outdoor taverns and bars in Bucharest's Old Centre at least 100,000 euros in revenues, according to ZF calculations based on restaurants' traffic estimates and on an average budget of 8-10 euros spent by those who saw the final from such an establishment.
The around 10,000-20,000 Bucharest inhabitants who went out to see the tournament's final between Spain and the Netherlands drank on average two or three beers during the game. Although the number of clients was higher than usual, pub and outdoor tavern owners say revenues collected were not particularly high compared with a regular Sunday.
