২০২৪ সালের ইউরোপীয় চ্যাম্পিয়নশিপ (Eurocup24) প্রচলিত ও ডিজিটাল—উভয় চ্যানেলেই তুমুল আলোচিত একটি আয়োজন ছিল। এসব ডিজিটাল প্ল্যাটফর্মের মধ্যে, নতুন প্রভাবশালী সামাজিক মাধ্যম টিকটক ক্রীড়াবিদ, ক্লাব ও ফেডারেশনগুলোকে আকর্ষণ করেছে এবং যোগাযোগের অগ্রাধিকার চ্যানেলে পরিণত হয়েছে।
This is unsurprising, as TikTok has emerged as a social phenomenon since 2020: during the COVID-19 pandemic, it became the world’s most downloaded app, according to SensorTown. Its entertaining and dynamic content gained widespread popularity during the pandemic's weariness. Another reason for TikTok’s success is its unique algorithm, which can predict and recommend content likely to appeal to the user.
These two factors—the success of TikTok and its usage by sports entities—have encouraged more in-depth research into the communication strategies and content types employed by the football federations participating in the European Championship on this platform.
About the research
This study analyses TikTok’s videos of 18 UEFA football federations participating in the 2024 European Championship, all of which maintain an official presence on TikTok. The study analyses a total of 1,762 videos published on the platform.
Two researchers from the University of Alicante (UA) and the International University of Valencia (VIU) conducted the research, utilizing Exolyt during the analysis phase for content and metrics on TikTok.

Engagement
The analysis of the communication strategies of European football federations on TikTok has focused on a decisive factor: engagement. Engagement, measured in terms of likes, comments, shares, and views, is the key indicator of a post's success on TikTok.
These engagement metrics provide a clear view of a follower’s interest in the content of the analyzed brand (in this case, the football federations participating in the 2024 European Championship).
Here's a glimpse of the engagement metrics captured on Exolyt for one of the federations analyzed.

Exolyt simplified the extraction and analysis of these metrics. The tool offers a precise and comprehensive diagnosis of an account’s engagement, as well as specific details for a particular time period or video relevant to the research.
Follower profile
One key factor in understanding the communication strategies of the federations on TikTok is analyzing the profiles of their followers. While TikTok is a heterogeneous platform, younger demographics are more prominently represented, as they seek dynamic and entertaining content, which is abundant on this social network.
ক্রীড়াজগত খুঁজে পেয়েছে যে, তরুণ দর্শকদের কাছে পৌঁছানোর জন্য টিকটক এক আদর্শ মাধ্যম—যাদের কাছে আরও প্রচলিত মাধ্যমগুলো দিয়ে এত সহজে পৌঁছানো যেত না।
With Exolyt, it has been possible to analyze:
- The percentage of users by age group and gender following each federation.
- The country of origin of these users.
Here's a glimpse into the follower profile of one of the federations analyzed.

There is consensus that between 50% and 75% of the followers of football federations participating in the European Championship are users under the age of 30. Understanding this information allows the federations to assess whether their content suits this audience. This factor also helps evaluate the engagement metrics obtained.
Hashtags
Another focus of analysis in this research has been hashtags used during the European Championship 2024: during the sporting event, official hashtags such as #eurocup or #euro2024 gained millions of views.
However, non-official hashtags related to personalities, anecdotes, and milestones of the 2024 European Championship also gained significant traction. Analyzing these hashtags also provides a closer insight into how the competition is perceived in each country.
Exolyt enabled this analysis by account and helped link the growth in hashtag visibility to specific time periods.

The analysis of these factors has clearly shown user interest in the TikTok content published by each UEFA federation.
This study's information and conclusions could be highly useful for marketing departments, particularly for TikTok content strategists and social media managers in general.
Here are some highlights of the insights captured from Exolyt:
- Video analysis showcased UEFA engaged fans through interactive and various content mixes (entertaining, informational) and encouraged community participation.
- Followers demographics like gender, age and country of origin of each UEFA Federation.
- Content that was released, considering the audience demographics, has a significant effect on the engagement metrics obtained.
- Using relevant event-specific official and non-official hashtags helped increase discoverability and reach, connecting with broader trends and conversations.
- Different accounts experienced growth in hashtag visibility during key moments of the tournament.
