Essay Introduction In today’s era, there has been high rise in big events such as Olympics, World cup, etc. ithas allowed countries to think in depth whether to host such a big event or not. This is because inrecent times, it is very difficult for countries to host big events (Vanwynsberghe, 2015). Itrequires a proper infrastructure and large number of facilities. From past years it has beenanalyzed that hosting of big event has become a hot issue for sports industry. They have to thinkand research about countries economic, social, legal, etc. conditions. Many countries getinvolved in bidding process to get a chance in hosting big event. But they do not get chance dueto some problems or issues prevailing. Main body There arises a question that whether the sustainability of mega event is really a myth ornot? there is no definite answer of this. Big events like Football World cup, Olympics, etc. andother comes in every four years. Th related committee or international agencies decides whichcountry will host it. for this they ask countries to bid for it. this is very long process to select thebest host country because success of event highly depends on it. the main aim for hosting eventis to generate growth of economy (Taks, Chalip and Green, 2015). but from past years there hasbeen many controversies involved in hosting an event worldwide. When a country host event it creates a great impact on its entire economy. the impact canbe either positive or negative. So, this has been a major concern for countries to bid for it.moreover, it has become difficult to cities to make mega event sustainable.

For example – while hosting FIFA World Cup 2014, there was manyprotests occurred within Brazil. The people were against mega event. The reason was countrywas underdeveloped and poor people have to suffer a lot. The government were not providingnecessity things for poor people. Instead they were highly focused on making event successful.In addition to this, poverty was also a main reason.
