Abstract :This study examines the economic impacts of international sports events such as the World Cup and the Olympics on the economies of host countries. The focus is on the effects of these events on tourism, employment, and investment, with a detailed analysis of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The data is obtained from a dataset consisting of the host country\\\'s tourism, employment, and investment data. While the study provides valuable insights into the economic impacts of international sports events, it has some limitations. It primarily examines the events from an economic perspective and overlooks the social and environmental dimensions. Nonetheless, the study concludes that Qatar benefited from hosting the 2022 World Cup, with positive returns estimated at around $11 billion, primarily due to an increase in tourism and trade.
