the attention of administrators and event managers to master
management skills, especially decision-making process. For that
reason, a comprehensive and long-term event planning is vital by
providing proposals, defining types of events, developing
objectives, identifying venues, event budgeting, marketing and
sponsorship strategies. The success of sporting events depends
largely on media engagement, timelines, schedules and job
description of staff. Management of sports events must consider
