Camilo Pérez, president of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee (COP), He indicated this Monday that the sports country is interested in presenting its candidacy to hold the 2027 Pan American Games, that Colombia lost for breaching the contract with Panama Sports.
“We have to discuss the budget with the Government. It's not just Paraguay. I have already stated that the Peruvian Committee is interested. Mexico also has two cities. If we make the decision to present the candidacy, we will decide soon. The thing is that we also have the Junior Pan American Games 2025. The only thing is that it will be an interesting competition,” said Pérez.

And he added: “What the President of the Republic says is essential. Santiago Pena. Its state policy is to support sports and improve health, education, there is a program in which sports is a pillar to get children out of drug addiction and COP is included. “We are lucky to have a president who was captain of the ruby team and understands what high-performance sport is.”
The idea
Pérez, in communication with Caracol Radio, warned that the letter from Panama Sports in which it gives the country the opportunity to apply arrived last Friday and they will analyze it.
“On Friday we received the letter from Panam Sports to apply. We do not have any communication with them. Opening the candidacy has nothing, since the 41 countries of Panama can present themselves. Competition is healthy. If we have the green light we are going to work and compete with several cities,” said the leader.
Panam Sports withdrew Colombia's hosting of the 2027 Pan American Games.
“They have their spokesperson, their president, and I have nothing to say about what happened with Colombia. I don't want to comment on a friendly Olympic Committee. I do not say anything. The only thing I know is the letter from Friday, but we have not received any other information. We will go step by step. The executive committee will decide if we take the proposal to the Mindeporte and the Presidency. Today we sent a letter to the sports secretary of Paraguay so that they are aware of Panam's letter,” Pérez stated.
