I wouldn't be surprised if football was the most viewed sport during the Olympics in a good chunk of Africa and Latin America. -

It makes sense when you think about it though. Football is spread out, so if you live in, say, Lyon or Marseille it’s an easy way to "go to the Olympics" without having to travel. -

Some double digit percentage of all ticket sales at the Summer Olympics is from Football, and all that for a relatively low cost. And the TV numbers can’t be that bad because when the IOC did its revenue tier list of sports Football was in B (behind only the big usual suspects like Athletics, Aquatics, Gymnastics, Volleyball, Basketball…), and 40% of that ranking was TV ratings.

It still makes a lot of money, if it isn't the highest it's up there. It also helps that the stadiums are located away from the host city so it has less competition with other sports. -

They dropped U-21 squads for a reason (after they admitted senior amateurs make no sense). The days of Communist bloc & Brazil amateurs playing the Olympics are over. Alas it gave one of only two OG gold medals in strictly team sports -

There may be some fresher datas somewhere, but for London 2012 it generates ~25% of the tickets revenues. -

Cutting 'old' sports' and disciplines is nothing new. Its been 20 years since wrestling was supposed to be cut from the program and it's still there. Even boxing is still around despite its myriad of issues. Cutting sports is a shit lot more difficult than the oppposite. I wish her good luck, historically, all IOC presidents so far have a terrible record when it comes to cutting stuff.
