host nation
Event's home country
A host nation is a country that receives and accommodates something from elsewhere—foreign troops stationed on its soil, an international sporting event like the Olympics, or a major diplomatic summit.
The term emphasizes the nation's role as provider of venue, infrastructure, and hospitality.
Germany served as host nation for the 2006 World Cup.
In military contexts, host nation support refers to assistance a country provides to allied forces operating within its borders.
