Biobío Region sports and infrastructure development

Overview

The Biobío Region in Chile is focusing on large-scale sporting events and infrastructure development. Mundo Telecomunicaciones has been named the official connectivity provider for the WRC Rally Chile Biobío 2026, deploying fiber optic networks to support pilots, media, and spectators across locations such as Talcahuano and Concepción.

Building on this momentum, regional Governor Sergio Giacaman is pursuing a bid to host the 2030 Odesur Games. This proposal includes the construction of an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a multipurpose arena, and an Olympic Village intended for future use as social housing. Furthermore, regional leadership is seeking to extend the World Rally Championship presence through 2029, requesting central government funding to support these initiatives and bolster the local economy.
