Global sport events: the mechanisms of their attributing to the host countries
Mácová, Veronika ; Karlas, Jan (advisor) ; Martinková, Viera (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the global sport event - FIFA World Cup. The topic of the thesis is relevant as it impacts not just the sport. FIFA World Cup can influence the economy and politics of the host country. The goal of the thesis is to determine factors influencing the allocation of the host country for the FIFA World Cup and factors leading countries to withdraw from the host bidding process. The thesis is influenced by the analysis of Paul Poast, Wolfgang Maennig, and Christopher Vierhaus, who examined the factors influencing the allocation of the Olympic Games host cities. The diploma thesis is quantitative research and logistic regression analysis is adopted. The regression analysis results indicate that country's previous experience in organizing global sports events, the size of its population, and the average GDP growth of the country influences the allocation of hosting of the FIFA World Cup. Countries decide to withdraw primarily due to small population size and high percentage of mineral resources in the country's GDP. In the both cases, the human rights factors are insignificant for the decision process.
