This paper analyzes the main environmental factors in the current period, focusing on some main man-made environmental impacts during major sports events. For these problems, we will use the method of ecological footprint to explore specific directions and causes. How consumers can properly use land resources to achieve environmentally friendly guidelines is a goal to be explored. At the same time, this paper will pay more attention to whether the environment people live in the society will have a certain impact on nature, mainly focusing on some studies in the living area. However, ecological footprint is not the only comprehensive measurement method, there are some limitations. This article will not focus on any one Olympic Games, but will analyze and discuss different Olympic Games in different periods for the same problem. The main analysis of the article will have a lot to do with the football field, and some references will be made here because our focus is not just on the Olympic Games.
