Overview
- The Defensoría del Pueblo reports that days before the opening, Ayacucho lacks confirmed reservations for lodging, catering, and key logistics for visiting delegations, and the regional IPD has not booked these services.
- The regional government says Ayacucho will host only five of the 42 disciplines—MTB Cross Country, boxing, taekwondo, kickboxing, and wushu—with the remaining events in Lima.
- Officials list the Canaán convention center, the Las Américas complex, and the Campanayocc circuit as competition sites and state that the Vencedores (former Estadio Ciudad de Cumaná) complex was never designated as a venue.
- Local authorities acknowledge major works are unfinished, with the Cuna de la Libertad stadium at roughly 20% progress and Las Américas not fully completed, raising readiness concerns.
- An audit by the Contraloría alleges an irregular S/92 million advance to Consorcio Deportivo Libertad involving 15 regional officials, while critics say Governor Wilfredo Oscorima has not addressed the findings.
