📋 Tender Overview
Delegation arrived in the Peruvian capital and toured the Legacy venues that will be part of the Lima 2027 Games. Peru has become an international benchmark as an organizer of mega sporting events, by having quality sports infrastructure, the same ones that were built for the Lima 2019 Games and that are currently alive, allowing the Peruvian capital to host the Pan American and Parapan American Games in 2027. For this reason, the Organizing Committee of the Central American and Caribbean Games, recognized for being the oldest regional multidisciplinary event in the world, came to Lima and toured the five Pan American facilities managed by the Legado Special Project, in order to learn about the agile and efficient experience deployed for Lima 2019.
Peru created a unique model in America, with Legado. In 2003, we organized the Pan American Games, but we were missing taking that step that Lima took. Now with the 2026 Central American Games, we are going to recover many venues and we will take care of maintaining these venues for the future. Lima will be able to host the Games again because Legado exists. It is a good example for Latin America. Investing in prevention is more important than doing works, said Jose Monegro, president of the organizing committee of the 2026 Central American Games.
Jose Monegro was accompanied by Garibaldi Bautista, president of the Dominican Republic Olympic Committee and Fernando Langa, vice president of the organizing committee of the Santo Domingo 2026 Central American Games. The authorities visited the Legado VIDENA headquarters, located in the district of San Luis; the Legado Villa Maria del Triunfo headquarters; the Villa El Salvador Sports Center, the Costa Verde Pan American Complex and the High Performance Surf Center, in Punta Rocas.
After that, the delegation recognized Legados experience as an infrastructure manager, also opening the doors of its facilities and bringing them closer to the community, through sports workshops.
It is worth noting that the Legado Special Project was created in 2020 on February 20, 2020, by D.S. 007-2020, to ensure that the venues built for the Pan American and Parapan American Games remain the best on the continent.
For the 2026 Games, we are in the phase of intervention in venues, such as the Olympic Stadium. Our goal is also to adapt these spaces to the technical specifications provided by the international federations. In addition, we seek to ensure that this investment is not lost due to lack of maintenance or use. The idea is to make it sustainable, he added.
Legado continues to work hand in hand with the different federations, so that athletes and Para athletes train and compete in the Pan American venues and obtain better levels of performance.
