Miami, CMC—Lima, Peru, will host the 2027 Pan Am Games. During a ceremony on Wednesday in the United States, the Pan Am Sports Organisation (PASO) announced that member countries chose the Peruvian capital with 28 votes in favor in a narrow vote at the extraordinary general assembly.
“We’re happy about this win,” said President of the Peruvian Olympic Committee Renzo Manyari. We will work to make everyone’s experience the best they have ever had, and they have the absolute devotion of more than 33 million Peruvians. Thank you for trusting us.”
The decision comes after both cities announced their bids last month, after Barranquilla, Colombia, was stripped of hosting rights for failing to meet contractual obligations.
“I want to highlight the transparency of the process and the brotherhood of both nations that competed healthily for the right to host the 2027 Pan American Games,” said PASO president Neven Ilic.
“I want to congratulate Lima, all of Peru, and the President of the Peruvian Olympic Committee, Renzo Manyari, for this tremendous achievement.
“A few years ago, they shook an entire continent with excitement, and today, with more experience and spectacular infrastructure, they want to repeat or improve the success achieved in 2019.”
The previous edition of the Pan Am Games was held last year in Santiago, Chile.
