The Latest update from Wales@work
Rising from the Ashes
The Swalec Stadium - the world's 100th Test match venue - makes history when it hosts the first match in the 2009 Ashes Series.
It's quite a coup for Cardiff - the first time an Ashes match has been played outside of any ground in England or Australia in its 127-year history and is worth around £10m to the city.
And it's not the only big sporting event coming to Wales - golf's Ryder Cup tees off at the Celtic Manor in Newport next year.
Cardiff's hotels are full and pubs and restaurants across town are looking forward to a bumper week.
But apart from the prestige and a quick profit for some what do these one-off events bring to Wales in the long-term?
How important are other big sporting occasions like the Six Nations, the Heineken Cup and Wales rally GB to the economy here?
And what's the legacy of the FA Cup and the Rugby World Cup - have we been making the most of our opportunities in the spotlight?
