Which events generate the biggest impacts on their hosts, and what are those impacts? What events will bring the most benefits to a host city or nation?
These are questions commonly asked by almost every host city and government.
According to analysis by Sportcal, through its GSI Project, Rio 2016 created the biggest impact on a host in the last Olympic cycle, followed by the Fifa World Cup in 2014. This in itself is not surprising, but which other sports events make the Top 25 most impactful events? 13 sports, hosted in 20 nations, comprise the Top 25 events, but which ones?
Sportcal has analysed over 300 major sporting events between 2013 and 2016, and the analysis of the impact of these events is summarised in Sportcal's Global Sports Impact (GSI) Report 2017.

The GSI Report 2017 analyses the positives and the negatives of the hosting of major sporting events.
Whilst Rio 2016 was the most impactful event in the last Olympic cycle, it was beset with problems, and the GSI Report analyses the positives and negatives of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in some detail. It looks at the cost of hosting the Games, and questions the current Olympic model, concluding that a major re-think is required to the understanding of what benefits the Games can bring to host cities.
