2016
marks the 50th anniversary of the 1966 FIFA World Cup, hosted in
England. Unlike previous literature, which has tended to focus
activities on the field, this book brings an institutional level
approach to organizing the 1966 FIFA World Cup and examines the
management process in the buildup and execution of the event.
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.
