IMPORTANT GAMES

Games are sometimes played purely for entertainment, sometimes for achievement or reward as well. Games generally involve mental or physical stimulation, and often both. Many games help develop practical skills, serve as a form of exercise, or otherwise perform an educational, simulational, or psychological role.

Olympic Games are considered the world's foremost sports competition with more than 200 nations participating. The are held every four years, with the Summer and Winter Games alternating by occurring every four years but two years apart.

The World Cup is the “world’s most widely viewed sporting event” and takes place every four years to determine the world champion. Here we give the list of future games useful for Competitive Examinations.
