Abstract

The main objective of this article is to discuss and analyse the research conducted since the 1980s regarding the possible impacts of sports mega events. As a rule, studies of these phenomena have been focused on economic aspects and tangible urban transformations. These analyses, however, do not take into account important social aspects related to the local population, especially those in fragile socioeconomic situation. Gradually, we observe a substantial increase in qualitative and interdisciplinary analyses in the context of sporting events, which has led to a broad discussion about the real impacts of these manifestations, be they positive or negative. A broader understanding of these effects – both in the short and long term – is paramount in constructing a critical view of the consequences engendered in hosting a global event. In addition, it is necessary to take into account regional and local elements since impacts vary greatly depending on where it is organized.
