Answering questions such as; How was the process of delivering the 1966 FIFA World Cup managed? Was government intervention necessary to deliver the 1966 FIFA World Cup? What perceived social and economic benefits did England gain from hosting the FIFA World Cup and What does the 1966 FIFA World Cup case tell us about collaborative and network management theories this intriguing new volume looks at the first significant UK government intervention in football and how this created a significant legacy as the government started to take a real interest in leisure facilities and stadium safety as policy areas after this competition.Foundations of Managing Sporting Events will be of considerable interest to research academics working on aspects of post war British, Imperial and World history including sport, social, business, economic and political history
