The Olympic Games are the largest sports event in the world.
This word consists of 'der Sport' (sport) and 'die Veranstaltung' (event). A 'Veranstaltung' is an organized event. So it is a sports event.
Die Sicherheit bei der Sportveranstaltung hat höchste Priorität.
Safety at the sports event has the highest priority.
The word belongs to the word family of 'veranstalten' (to organize/host). The person or company that organizes the event is 'der Veranstalter' (the organizer/host).
Der Veranstalter rechnet mit Tausenden von Zuschauern.
The organizer expects thousands of spectators.
Typical verbs in this context are 'besuchen' (to attend), 'organisieren' (to organize), 'absagen' (to cancel), or 'im Fernsehen übertragen' (to broadcast on television). Athletes can 'an einer Sportveranstaltung teilnehmen' (take part in a sports event).
Wegen des schlechten Wetters musste die Sportveranstaltung abgesagt werden.

game / play
'das Spiel' and 'die Sportveranstaltung' can both have to do with sports and spectators. 'das Spiel' usually means a single contest, for example a soccer game between two teams. 'die Sportveranstaltung' is larger or more general: a game, several competitions, or a whole program can take place there. The words can be confused when talking about sports dates or events. If you mean only the individual contest, 'Spiel' is more precise. If you mean the organized event as a whole, 'Sportveranstaltung' is more natural.
