Abstract: Large sports events such as the Olympics, FIFA World Cup, and other international tournaments have far-reaching effects beyond the event itself. One of the key impacts is on the development of local sports within the host nation or region. This article explores the various dimensions of this impact, including increased sports participation, infrastructural development, economic investments in sports, and the cultivation of local talent. While the short-term benefits of hosting such events are often widely discussed, this article delves into the longer-term implications for local sports development, offering a comprehensive view of both positive and negative outcomes.
