2031 Pan American Games

[AliciasBlade]

Only city I found interested in hosting the 2031 Pan American Games is Winnipeg.

Too small of a city compared to Santiago and Barranquilla tbh.

Winnipeg hosted the Pan American Games twice in 1967 and 1999.

If Winnipeg bids, its likely theirs to lose after three straight games in South America.

I noticed a pattern where ever since Winnipeg hosted in 1999, the Pan American Games return to Canada. So maybe.

What about San Jose (Costa Rica), it would be fourth different country to be held in Central America.

Canada is likely a favourite to balance out the Latin-American heavy schedule, especially as the US doesn't seem to want to host. Important consideration in my opinion.

Rio is also interested in hosting.

The 2031 Pan American Games will be in Curitiba

That has not been confirmed. Curitiba is part of actually Rio de Janeiro's potential bid.

Is they are selected, it could be the third time Brazil have hosted it after 1963 and 2007 which in another Brazilian city Rio de Janeiro.

New monday, the Pan American Games Santiago 2023 draws to a close. But they still got one more for them is this month with the Parapan American Games.

Asuncion is interested of hosting the 2031 edition after losting the 2027 edition to Lima.

I made a draft WIkipedia page for the 2031 Pan American Games. Sao Paolo is the only official bidder with Winnipeg and Asuncion mulling it over. One news sources considered Charlotte as a possible host for the games.

[FYI]

Lol, says the one that thought Asuncion was such a shoo-in for the 2027 edition. Okay lol

[FYI]

And actually, that would be great for the U.S. - A 2031 PanAm's between L.A. 2028 & SLC 2034. The last time the U.S. even bid for this was for the 2007 PanAms that were ultimately won by Rio. And the last time the U.S. hosted the PanAm's was in 1987 in Indianapolis. The PanAm's would be a perfect & suitable event for a city like Charlotte. Haven't really followed this, so don't know who else is really interested, but the fact the U.S. hasn't even hosted this for 44 years by 2031 should be a factor in Charlotte's favor. So yes, we'll just have to "wait & see" who ultimately gets this.

Miami can work perfectly as Pan Am host. It's home of some of the biggest Latino communities (Cuba, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina). Also it has the biggest French/French Creolle community from Haiti and Miami has become the hub of the some relevant sport figures. The weather is an issue, but at difference of the Olympics, Pan Am is more flexible of the schedules (They did with Guadalajara, Lima and Santiago).

Also if they want, imagine having Lionel Messi, Caleb Dressler, LeBron James, Oscar Isaac and Anya Taylor-Joy as city ambassadors.

Rio and Niterói deliver letter to COB and formalize intention to host the 2031 Pan American Games
Elected mayors of the cities participated in a ceremony with Paulo Wanderley, president of the Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB); Village to be built in the Port Zone of Rio de Janeiro.

— "We are ahead of the game because of the existing infrastructure in Rio de Janeiro and Niterói. There is an advantage in not having to build new structures, and we already have experience in major events. Today we formalized our pre-candidacy, but we will build a dossier that meets the demands of the Pan American Games. At the same time, we will look at the legacy of the event. I spoke with Rodrigo (Neves), and the Village will be in the Port Zone, to enhance the central region of Rio and be close to Niterói. The COB will have a proposal that meets the sporting requirements and leaves a legacy" — explained Paes, who jokingly booed São Paulo's candidacy, mentioned by Paulo Wanderley.
