Some people think that hosting international sports events may be beneficial for a country. Discuss both views

Some

people

claim that

sports

events

, especially international ones, bring numerous cultural and economic benefits to the

country

where they are organised, while others strongly disagree with

this

opinion and consider them harmful.

This

essay will examine the question from both points of view and

then

I will give my own perspective on the matter. On the one hand,

sports

events

held on an international scale attract substantial numbers of tourists and fans who visit the organising

country

to support their teams.

For example

, the higher the crime rates in the organising cities. Another issue is hooliganism, which is fairly perceived as an integral part of football games. Vast examples from the previous

world

contests have shown us the detrimental results of intoxicated hooligans’ violent behaviour, which led to demolishing

sports

and tourism facilities and harming passers-by and hooligans themselves.

Thus

, these two are the main reasons against holding

world

events

. To conclude, regardless of the certain disadvantages related to the increased crime rate, I strongly believe that international
