Managing the World Cup: Future Research

Chapter 13 in Managing the Football World Cup, 2014, pp 237-242 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The aim of this book was to critically examine the planning, management and implementation of the Football World Cup as a mega-event. It examined how FIFA and World Cup organizing committees produce the event, taking into account the growth of the event over the past century. The express focus of the book was on operational planning and management practices. This area has been an underdeveloped component of Football World Cup research and thus this volume is just a small step towards a more sophisticated understanding of what is needed to effectively manage the sport mega-event. A single book such as this cannot cover all the operational components required of World Cup organizers, so we have concentrated on a selection of key functional areas. There are of course many other areas to be researched; what follows is an overview, though not exhaustive, of potential areas of inquiry into the management and organization of the Football World Cup.
