Last Wednesday, the Chilean Ilic, who resides in Santiago, informed Colombia that Panam Sports took away the 2027 Pan American Games venue from Barranquilla due to “non-compliance” by the government. The Ministry of Sports was supposed to allocate four million dollars to that organization before December 31, but that did not happen.
