Benefits of hosting a global event for the host country include which of the following?

• A. Increased funding in sport
• B. New stadiums and training facilities
• C. Improved coaching structures
• D. Increased interest in sport and increased participation

Answer: (B)

When a country hosts a global event, the most direct outcome is a boost to sporting infrastructure to meet international standards. Building new stadiums and creating or upgrading training facilities provides tangible venues to stage events and to support athletes long after the event ends. While additional funding for sport, improvements in coaching, and a rise in interest and participation can occur, these depend on policy choices and programs and aren’t as guaranteed as the facilities themselves.
