1. Introduction

Football is one of the most popular sports in the world. In addition, to host the FIFA World Cup might be considered a great honour for all countries but also extremely competitive. If any country wants to bid for host the FIFA World Cup, there is a significant point, the stadia. According to BBC ( HYPERLINK "http://www.bbc.co.uk" www.bbc.co.uk), ’provide at least 12 stadia with minimum capacities of 40,000, with the final to be held in a stadium with a capacity of at least 80,000.’ This means the countries must meet certain conditions in order to join the bid. Furthermore, England is now bidding for the FIFA World Cup host in 2018. There is one significant argument in favour of England hosting in 2018, the stadia. Hubpages (hubpages.com) points out that Wembley national stadium with 90,000 seats was one of the world 's most famous football stadium. It can be a important argument over England is suitable for hosting the FIFA World Cup in 2018. This project will mainly focus on discussing significant argument in favour of England hosting the 2018 World Cup.

    London 2012 Olympics Case

    London 2012 Olympics Case

    Paul Williamson and his team were responsible for developing the policies for pricing and distributing the tickets for the 2012 London Olympic Games. He along with team members Chris Townsend, the Commercial Director of the LOCOG and Joanna Manning-Cooper, Head of Public Relations and Media were actively engaged in the pricing strategy decision making. The tickets were set to go on sale starting in late 2010 which meant that Williamson had about 18 months to plan his pricing strategy. The Olympic Games are governed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) which is responsible for electing the Olympic host cities, setting guidelines for the host cities, managing copyrights, and trademarks as well as managing broadcast rights and international sponsorships. The management of the Games is left to the host city’s Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (OCOG) which is responsible for ticketing, domestic sponsorships, and domestic licensing. As Williamson was considering his strategy, he kept two thoughts in mind; one from his boss Chris Townsend who said “Missing either our revenue or our attendance target is simply unacceptable.” The other comment came from Joanna Manning-Cooper who reminded him that “We are billing these as ‘Everybody’s Games,’ which means the majority of tickets have to be at prices the public can afford.” Williamson was caught between the two choices- should he make the prices high in order to maximize revenue, or should he price them low enough or the general public to fill the seats. There was 7.9 million tickets up for sale and the LOCOG estimated about 500,000 people per day that attend the Games with up to 800,000 people on busy days. According to the LOCOG, “It is estimated that roughly 30% of all the tickets would be purchased by Londoners, 25% by United Kingdom residence who live outside of London, 20% by the rest of Europe, and 25% by people in the rest of the world.…

    Olympics Informative Speech

    The reason why that is an issue is London could have used that money to better their country. The stadium has its values, but isn't a better school system too? Or maybe a reduction of homelessness. When a country builds a stadium it has harmful effects on the city's economy. According to NBC Sports, America's stadium in st. Louis Misuri , $1.47 billion (including additional costs, interest and repairs) and for the construction $770 million. It's safe to say that we could definitely use that money for our education programs or our roads. I would rather see the us spend that money on our school systems so my niece and nephew be in a stronger and better school system and getting a better education, Instead of the US spending that money on entertainment, and sports. We should discontinue the Olympics, because it cost to much to have the olympics. This is important because the countries could use the money in better ways that could help their…

It is a limited number to represent all overseas students. In addition, the survey only focuses on Sydney. It is difficult to represent all Australian universities. On the other hand, the area where further research would be beneficial includes the tuition fees for overseas students have to pay much more tuition fee than local students.…
