Following a Panam Sports Executive Board meeting, 36 sports will be included in the continental event, with cricket set to make its debut at the Pan Am Games.
Thirty-three of the sports were chosen according to the preferences of the 41 National Olympic Committees that form the Panam Sports organisation, while the final three were selected by the Lima 2027 organisers, according to a press release.
“As Panam Sports we have taken a very important step with the approval of the 36 sports for Lima 2027. We followed a very democratic process among all the National Olympic Committees and today, the Executive Board has confirmed the sports of the programme of our Pan American Games,” said the President of Panam Sports Neven Ilic.
The list includes Olympic staples like athletics, swimming, gymnastics, and football, as well as continental favourites such as baseball, rugby sevens, and surfing. skateboarding and sport climbing, two of the Olympic programme’s newer additions, also return.
