Abstract

Due to the hosting of FIFA's Football World Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016, 'mega events' and 'legacies' became terms quite frequent in our daily lives generating a growing number of debates and investigations. In this text, from the notion that these terms are not completely comprehended, I review mega event's definitions and debates toward their legacies presents on the literature. I could point out some elements and questions to future debates and investigations based on more sound theoretical and methodological approach.
