Overview

  • Competition is underway through September 14 across Rosario, with early action in beach volleyball, handball, table tennis, archery, gymnastics, chess and skating, and with events also staged in Santa Fe and Rafaela.
  • The opening ceremony at the Fan Fest on bulevar Oroño featured a parade of delegations and a laser show and was limited to athletes, federation delegates and authorities.
  • Santa Fe’s Laguna Setúbal is hosting rowing, canoeing and triathlon, including para events, in open-water conditions organizers are using to trial venues and logistics for ODESUR 2026.
  • Public engagement centers on a free Fan Fest open daily from 8:00 to 20:00, which also serves as the main medal-award site and showcases federations’ activities.
  • Participation figures vary by source, with reports ranging from roughly 2,500 to more than 3,500 athletes, and Mendoza largely declined to send an official delegation citing budget and calendar priorities.
