Many people want their country to host an international sporting event. Others believe that international sporting events bring more problems than benefits. Discuss both views and state your opinion.

Being an organiser of international sports events like the Olympics is considered as a matter of prestige for a nation

whereas

another opinion is that it is not good. Both of the contrasting viewpoints will be discussed in

opens the door for many novel opportunities.

For example

, it gives a boost to the tourism sector as many players,media,spectators etc. travel across the border to witness the moment. Apart from that, building an infrastructure to host at a bigger scale leads to massive construction work which gives employment to the poor

boom in the economy. Definitely, the up-gradation of the sports facilities and public transportation is a consequential outcome. The status of the host is enhanced in the global arena and it gives exposure to the local budding players by making them witness the competition of the highest scale.

On the other hand

unnecessary things requiring a handsome expenditure.

For instance

, a man dying from hunger has nothing to do with the pastime.

Besides

, the influx of so many foreigners can lead to an increase in the incidences of crime. Sometimes, it is seen that traffic is diverted

the schedule. The holidays are declared to avoid congestion on roads. All these things add to the hardships of a common man. In my opinion, global events should be hosted by those countries which have been able to provide their citizens with the basic needs of life.

Whereas

, poor and developing ones should focus on training the athletes by providing them with enough facilities like cash assistance, a good diet and the best coaches.

Firstly

, They should try to eliminate poverty before thinking about organising international competitions involving the outlay of a hefty amount.

Also

, it would be an injustice to the millions of needy and hungry people watching grandiose celebrations and lights from far

To conclude

, I would say that the hosting of international events directly depends on the fiscal position of a country. If it has sufficient money, it is good to host a competition and

conversely

, if it is poor, it has a long way to go before thinking about spending a lion's share on them.

This

balanced approach looks completely justified in my point of view.
