Some people think hosting major international sporting events brings a lot of advantages to a country, while others believe there are more disadvantages. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Major sporting events are often presented as moments of national celebration, bringing athletes, spectators, and media attention from across the world. However, behind the spectacle lies a more difficult question: whether these events genuinely benefit the host country or simply leave behind debt, disruption, and unused infrastructure. In my view, hosting can be worthwhile, but only when it is planned around long-term public benefit rather than short-term prestige.
