WATCH: “The feeling is that we must win”: more than infrastructure, the foundation on which the Lima 2027 candidacy is based

There will be forty minutes in which Lima will have to convince the members of Panem Sports that it is the best option to organize the Pan American Games of 2027 and will be accompanied by the voices of the Peruvian Olympic Committee President Renzo Manyari and Gustavo Adriánzen. in charge.

The mode of selection will be virtual, but the exhibition will be held in person from the JW Marriott in Miami. At 8am the activity starts with the protocol portion and then the presentation of each candidate with 40 minutes for each – who would start was kept confidential.

They want to become the second country with fewer than 7.5 million inhabitants to host the Pan American Games, as Puerto Rico did in 1979. And they want Youth Olympic Games for 2030.
