The Value of Events Report 2022, commissioned by UK Sport

Following a hugely successful year for hosting major sporting events, a new report commissioned by UK Sport has revealed the huge benefits that hosting major events delivers for the UK.

Alongside delivering a direct economic impact of £132m (with Birmingham 2022 data yet to be published), supporting 1,600 jobs and a 6:1 return on investment, The Value of Events Report 2022 sets out how hosting 12 events in 25 cities, backed by government funding, brought millions of people together, united communities and positively impacted millions of people’s lives through spectating, volunteering and community activation opportunities.
