Good evening dear colleagues! Could you help me, please. I am a bit puzzled with these two words. Which is correct: sport events or sporting events? Maybe they both mean the same? Thank you Best regards:) |

Hi sadbird
Both are ok
I did a quick google and I found sport events, sports events and sporting events.
Sporting events sounds more formal and is preferred for written forms. Sport (UK) / sports (US) events is fine for everyday conversation.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Jayho

Thank you Jayho. Your post is really helpful. I always doubt when I come across several variants of an expression: ) |
