Sports updates: Dolores hosts multi-sport tournaments and Mineros de Bolívar restructures

Dolores will host the Maxi Básquet and Maxi Vóley tournaments from September 10 to 13. This expanded event follows a 2025 edition that drew over 70 teams and 1,000 athletes, generating an estimated economic impact of $500 million and filling local hotel capacity. This year's tournament expects delegations from across the country, as well as from Brazil and Uruguay. Argentine basketball figure Hernán “El Loco” Montenegro is scheduled to attend the various venues.

In Venezuela, the basketball team Mineros de Bolívar, formerly known as Centauros de Bolívar, has announced a leadership restructuring as part of a “New Beginning.” Jean Carlos Monsalve has been named president, with Juan Carlos Cuenca serving as vice president. The organizational changes aim to improve the team's performance in the upcoming Superliga Profesional de Baloncesto (SPB) season following a difficult 5-19 regular season record and recent controversies regarding betting scandals in the league.
