What the source says
In 2022, in 23 EU countries, less than one third of the population aged 16+ reported attending live sports events in the previous 12 months; the exceptions were Ireland (40%), Luxembourg (38%) and the Netherlands (37%).
Checked: the figure 40% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
