📋 Tender Overview
Academic event promotes sports management at the national level. National and international speakers participated. This is how the two dates of the 5th Edition of the International Sports Congress Peru Sport Summit 2024 were developed, organized by the Peruvian Institute of Sports, through the National Directorate of Training and Sports Technique.
The opening ceremony was led by the president of the IPD, Federico Tong; who was accompanied by the director of Physical Education and Sports of the Ministry of Education, Nathaly Montoya, representative of the Ministry of Culture and the director of Training of the IPD, Pedro Flores.
A few months ago an edition of this congress was held in Junin and that is going to be the line not only of reflection but of work of the IPD, to decentralize the sport and take it to the most remote areas of our country, to the native communities and also in Heights. The Peru Sport Summit has become a great reference because it allows knowledge to be democratized, said Tong Hurtado.
Likewise, he announced that the IPD will work on an incentive program for athletes and para-athletes for the Lima 2027 Pan American Games, and a program will also be created to revalue the glories of sport together with the Olympian Ana Cecilia Carrillo. During the formal ceremony, an emotional tribute was paid to athlete Andre Huarcaya, student of the Experimental Sports Educational Center (CEDE) of the IPD, who recently won the gold medal in the Pan American Under-17 Wrestling, and is now a member of the Training Program. IPD Athlete Support (PAD), will also represent Peru in the next U-17 Wrestling World Cup in Jordan.
The president of the IPD stated that he is working on the implementation of the first National Sports Games. It is for all regions to compete, we are against time but with the support of all of you we are going to be able to make this first edition, which will serve as a basis for discovering new talents and to inspire trajectories that end with participation in Lima 2027.
PERU SPORT SUMMIT
It is worth remembering that the Peru Sport Summit Congress had its first edition in 2015 in the facilities of the National Library, with a capacity of 498 people. Then followed 2017, 2019, 2021 (virtually due to the Covid19 pandemic), and 2024 in the Junin region (decentralized Congress), during all these editions it was possible to connect more than 3,700 sports agents from all over the country. Now in Lima a record was broken, bringing together 1,328 participants.
