At the time that, the COVID-19 is designed as the main cause of the non event of this sportive event for the country, it’s therefore not credible to assess the economic impact of this disaster for the continent? In all cases, this is the main question assigned to this study. Globally Speaking, the obtained Results are significant testimony of the Robustness of VAR Methodoly as an engine of test of this kind of impact study at country or Regional level.
