Argentina concludes 2026 South American Games

Overview

As of late September 2026, the XIII South American Games in Argentina have concluded. The event, which spanned 15 days across the cities of Santa Fe, Rosario, and Rafaela, featured more than 4,000 athletes from 15 countries competing in 43 sports and 60 disciplines.

The games culminated in a closing ceremony at the Parque del Sur Fan Fest in Santa Fe, attended by approximately 100,000 people. The ceremony was led by Mario Moccia, president of Odesur and the Argentine Olympic Committee, and Governor Maximiliano Pullaro. The festivities included musical performances by Cacho Deicas and soprano Virginia Tola, alongside a parade of volunteers and flag bearers.

Moccia reported that the games reached a historic milestone, noting that 3.5 million people participated in various sporting and artistic activities throughout the event. The broader celebration included cultural activities and musical performances from 90 different bands at various Fan Fest locations.

Prior to the conclusion, preparations had focused on infrastructure such as the Invencible Santa Fe stadium and the Rosario Athletes’ Village. The games also served as a platform for the expansion of the CReAR Federal talent development program, which integrated local structures from provinces including Corrientes, Chubut, Entre Ríos, and Tierra del Fuego into a unified national training system.
