sporting event
Game or match
A sporting event is an organized athletic competition—a game, match, race, or tournament where athletes or teams compete before spectators.
The term covers everything from a local high school football game to the Olympics: The stadium holds fifty thousand for major sporting events.
Sporting events are often social occasions as much as athletic ones.
