Major sporting events can bring huge crowds and investment to host cities, but how much of that opportunity reaches local businesses? In this episode, Shayne MacLachlan from the OECD speaks with scientist, entrepreneur and investor Riana Lynn about what the 2026 FIFA World Cup meant for local food businesses in Atlanta and Mexico City. Drawing on her experience in both host cities, they explore how restaurants, food vendors, farmers and suppliers benefited from the tournament, and why some businesses were better placed than others to seize the opportunity.
Looking beyond the final whistle, they discuss what host cities can do to turn a few busy weeks into a lasting legacy. From supporting small businesses and local supply chains to celebrating neighbourhood culture and creating opportunities that endure after the crowds have gone, the conversation asks how global sporting events can leave local economies stronger long after the tournament ends.
Podcast host: Shayne MacLachlan - Public Affairs and Communications Manager at the CFE.
As Public Affairs and Communications Manager, Shayne engages with policy issues concerning SMEs, tourism, culture, regions and cities to name a few. He has worked on a number of OECD campaigns including “Going Digital”, "Climate Action" and "I am the future of work".
