Panam Sports has officially released its host candidates for the 2029 Pan American Junior Games.
Guatemala City, Panama City, and Rosario, Argentina have been selected as the host city candidates for the 2029 sporting event after meeting all the requirements and submitting their bid dossiers.
Each city offers a diverse experience for hosting with various unique elements.
Rosario
Situated on the Paraná River, Rosario is the third largest city in Argentina, home to approximately 1.03 million people. The city sits at sea level and boasts moderate temperatures throughout the summer months.
Guatemala City
Guatemala City, in contrast, has a noticeably different environment. Being the capital of Guatemala, it has a population of slightly more than 3 million people, and its location in a mountain valley places it at 4,900 feet above sea level with a temperate climate year-round.
Panama City
Panama City is most unique in its climate, being located in a tropical rainforest. The elevation is similar to Rosario, being at sea level, and the population of Panama’s capital city is near 1.4 million people.
“We are very happy and proud that three great cities on our continent have expressed interest in hosting the most important youth multisport event in the Americas in 2029,” stated Jimena Saldaña, the Secretary General of Panam Sports.
The event debuted in 2021, making 2029 the third edition of the Pan American Junior Games. Previous Games were successfully hosted in Cali (2021) and Asunción (2025), setting the bar high for the three candidate cities seeking to host in 2029, where youth sports will be showcased at the highest level. Brazil led the medal table for swimming in 2025, taking home 43 medals total, with 24 of them being gold.
“These are three beautiful cities with significant sports infrastructure, where sports are lived with great passion, and most importantly, all three have National Olympic Committees that are deeply committed to the Olympic movement and to the development of sports in our region.”
Before the final vote, the Evaluation Commission will further review bid documents and administer technical visits in each of the selected candidate cities. In addition, each of the three cities will have a chance to present to the National Olympic Committees on July 22 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, during the Centro Caribe Sports General Assembly. Olympic Committees that cannot attend in person will be allowed to participate via Zoom and learn more about what the three candidate cities bring to the Pan American family.
The final host city will be selected through a vote on August 27 and 28, 2026, in Lima, Peru, at the XIV General Assembly of Panam Sports.
