In this study, we analyzed one month of Call Detail Records, covering\nBudapest in June, 2016. During this observation period, the 2016 UEFA European\nFootball Championship took place, where the Hungarian national football team\ndid well, beyond expectations. This case study focuses on the fans' behavior in\nBudapest, during and after the Hungarian matches, from the perspective of the\nmobile phone network data. Tense rooting, joy of scoring a goal,\nself-forgetting celebration because of winning the group. All of these have an\neffect on the data, that can be simply revealed. We used descriptive\nstatistical methods to analyze the available data set, and managed to\ndemonstrate the potential of this kind of data at social sensing. We found that\nthe mobile phone network activity reflects the football fans' behavior, even if\nthe match is played in another country.\n
