“…Writing in Socialist Alternative , Andy Moxley described the defeat of Boston's bid for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games as an example of “working people's victory over neoliberalism.” He points to Boston as only the latest in a “growing list of cities such as Munich, Oslo, and Stockholm that have rejected bids for the Olympics” (a list to which Budapest, the latest city to reject bidding for the Olympic circus, can be added). Moxley concludes, “This fightback is an inspiration to all who want to organize against neoliberalism and gentrification, and all who want sports games for the people, not for profit.” The most prominent sport mega‐events, such as the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup, are by no means the sole sporting targets for antineoliberal sentiment and activism (Boykoff, Celebration Capitalism ; Gaffney; Horne; Lauermann). David Webber outlines the amorphous, yet discernible, “Against Modern Football” movement, of which the FC Sankt Paul fan organization Mick Totten examines is a noted exemplar.…”

“…Furthermore, Stewart and Rayner (2016) suggest integrated legacy planning allows for legacy governance and responsibilities to be decided pre-Games when working between multiple governing and planning bodies. However, Gaffney (2016) Cup 2014, and Olympic and Paralympic Games 2016, where post-event usage of facilities has been questionable in necessity and appropriateness for the host community's future needs.…”

This paper explores the emerging importance of planning and governance surrounding the concept of event legacy by focusing on an in-depth case study of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Given the long-term nature of the concept of legacy, the need for planned and thorough pre, during and post Games management is essential if legacy outcomes are to be monitored effectively. Research method employed for this study consist of in-depth interviews (n=14) with policy makers, organisers, and local community associations who were involved with legacy planning and implementation for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. The findings present Glasgow's legacy approach as an advancement in the understanding of legacy governance and planning in relation to critical event management. By designing and implementing legacy governance structures at an early stage, each stakeholder role is established and can be monitored while allowing for some flexibility within the legacy management partnerships. In addition, the notion of a partnership legacy can be seen to have grown from innovative legacy governance structures, such as collaborative working and network creation, put in place by Glasgow in the early stages of legacy planning, which can act as a model of best practice for other major event host destinations.

The present paper has to aim into territorial reflect changes in Rio de Janeiro –which hosted some of the games of the 2014 FIFA World Cup–, including the preparation of urban space for accommodating tourists and setting up the necessary sports infrastructure for the mega event, identified as tourist areas. Based on newspaper clippings on the subject from the Brazilian press and bibliographic research, the study research method used was exploratory, which made it possible to adopt a qualitative outlook. It was assumed that there is currently sufficient information on the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Consequently, it was possible to expand the scope to include the relevant variables in the case study, which cannot be quantified. Tools used to collect information included bibliographical and document research, which enabled the study to conclude that the process of urban replanning adjusted the area to the needs of the sports mega event. It also triggered the displacement of the communities living in the areas targeted for improvement and expansion of the necessary infrastructures, in many cases against the will of the dwellers, with the excuse that their living conditions would improve, the risk of life would be reduced and appropriate housing would be guaranteed, while democratic access to goods and services was not expanded.
