The Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) has named a 44-member team to compete at the XIII South American Games.
The competition will take place in Argentina and is scheduled to run between September 12 to 26.
Athletes from Guyana will take part in athletics, archery, boxing, esports, squash, table tennis, taekwondo and tennis.
The Games will be staged across the three host cities of Rosario, Santa Fe and Rafaela, bringing together more than 4,000 athletes from 15 countries. The programme will feature 43 sports and 60 disciplines.
Importantly, the Games will provide qualification opportunities for the 2027 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru.
GOA President Godfrey Munroe said the size and diversity of the delegation demonstrates the continued development of Guyana’s high-performance sporting system.
‘The participation of athletes across eight disciplines reflects the growing breadth of Guyanese sport and the determination of our national federations and athletes to compete successfully at the highest regional level.
‘These Games are not only about immediate results; they are an important part of our wider athlete-development and qualification pathway towards the 2027 Pan American Games and the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games,’ Munroe said.
‘The Guyana Olympic Association remains committed to working with our national federations, athletes, coaches, Government and other partners to provide the support necessary for our athletes to compete with pride and distinction.’
