The 2021 Junior Pan American Games is a forthcoming international multi-sports event for athletes aged 18 to 21 in the Americas, organized by the Pan American Sports Organization (PASO).[1]
Candidate cities
The deadline for the presentation of candidacy to organize the first Junior Pan American Games was January 31, 2019, on which date Cali, Santa Ana, and Monterrey were selected as host city candidates by PASO.[2] The host city selection will take place at the next Executive Committee in San José, Costa Rica from March 27 to 28, 2019.[1][3]
Cali, Colombia
Colombia Olympic Committee President Baltazar Medina noted that the reason Cali applied to host the games was to open the possibility of Colombia hosting larger multi-sports events, such as the Bolivarian Games and the Central American and Caribbean Games.[2] Cali would be the main city for the games, while Palmira, Buga, and Calima El Darién would act as sub-centers.[4]
Santa Ana, El Salvador
On January 29, 2019, Mayoress of Santa Ana Milena Calderón Sol de Escalón confirmed that the city would apply to be the host of the inaugural games, stating, "We are preparing all the presentations we have to do before the International Olympic Committee. It will be in Costa Rica where El Salvador, through Santa Ana, will be presented (to host the 2021 Junior Pan American Games)."[5]
Monterrey, Mexico
President of the Mexican Olympic Committee Carlos Padilla Becerra expressed interest in Monterrey hosting the inagural Junior Games, stating, "Mexico hopes that the competition can take place in Monterrey in 2021; it is a city that has the adequate infrastructure to carry them out, and it a minimum expenditure would be necessary."[6]
