Barranquilla pierde sede de Juegos Panamericanos 2027

The city of Barranquilla in Colombia has lost its bid to host the 2027 Pan American Games. The decision was made by the organizing committee for these games, which cited a series of violations in the contract as the reason for the withdrawal of the bid.

The Pan American Games are a multi-sport event that takes place every four years and brings together athletes from across the Americas. Barranquilla had been bidding to host the 2027 games, but the organizing committee has now decided to withdraw the bid due to concerns about the city's ability to fulfill its obligations under the contract.

It is not clear what specific violations in the contract led to the withdrawal of the bid, but it is likely that they related to issues such as funding, infrastructure, or logistics. The organizing committee may have determined that Barranquilla was unable to meet these requirements and therefore could not host the games successfully.

It is worth noting that the decision to withdraw the bid was made by the organizing committee, not by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) which oversees the Pan American Games. The IOC had previously expressed its support for Barranquilla's bid to host the games, but ultimately it was up to the local organizers to fulfill their obligations under the contract.

Overall, the withdrawal of Barranquilla's bid to host the 2027 Pan American Games is a significant setback for the city and its residents, who had been looking forward to hosting these prestigious games. It remains to be seen what the next steps will be for the organizing committee and the city of Barranquilla, but it is clear that this decision has had a major impact on the plans for the 2027 games.
