    I think the course "Sustainability and Major Sport Events: Implementation" offers valuable insights into FIFA's approach to sustainability and provides practical guidance on implementation. Understanding the sustainability practices of major sports organizations like FIFA is crucial. Additionally, exploring the business models of football clubs can help you identify potential consulting opportunities in the sports industry. It's a well-rounded approach to building more resilient and regenerative communities through sports.

    The course presents applied information well with interesting references. Valuable additional materials are also offered for study. Unfortunately, I cannot fully evaluate it, since there is no access to the test tasks.
