Abstract
The Olympic Games have frequently witnessed cost overruns. Olympic stadiums have drawn significant media attention due to their escalating costs, but lack of systematic documentation. This study aims to identify the causes of cost overruns in Olympic stadium construction over the period 2000–2020 through a qualitative document analysis. These overruns often stem from internal organizational errors. Therefore, we recommend conducting meticulous analyzes and adhering to consistently monitored plans overseen by an independent body.
