Abstract
Football, called in USA soccer, has the huge impact on everyday life especially during big events such as European Championships and World Championships. Information about results, players and teams appear everywhere and with every occasion. During near 30 days media exists thanks to football events (not only matches). The recent work of Edmans et al. (J Finance 62:1967–1998, 2007) indicate that there is a strong relation between soccer games and local stock exchange. The aim of the chapter is to verify hypothesis that there exists the effect of UEFA EURO cups on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The research was conducted on the example of stock exchange indexes: WIG, WIG20 and WIG30. The case study is an example of an activity of irrational factors during the process of making investment decisions.
