The 2023 Parapan American Games, officially the VII Pan American Games and commonly known as the Santiago 2023 Parapan-Am Games, was an international multi-sport event for athletes with disabilities. It celebrated the tradition of the Parapan American Games as governed by the Americas Paralympic Committee and was held from November 17 to 26 in Santiago, Chile.[1]

Development and preparation

Budget

The budget for the Games is $507 million USD, with $170 million reserved for the building of ten new sporting venues and the upgrade of six arenas.[2] The budget is about 36% of what was spent for the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada and 50% of the last Pan American Games in 2019, in Lima, Peru.[3]

Venues

Various venues across Santiago and the metropolitan region will host the Games.[4]

In June 2022, organizers revealed the final plan consisting of 14 venues.[5] And all venues are located in the Santiago area, some often will be used in a exclusive way at the Games.[6]

Athletes Village

In December 2021, a ceremony was held to lay the first brick for the village. The village is expected to cost approximately $100 million USD, and will consist of 1,345 apartments.[7] After the games, the village will be converted to social housing. The village is being built in the Cerrillos Bicentennial Park community of Santiago.[8]

Sports

Following the rules of the Americas Paralympic Committee, in which a maximum of 17 sports can be part of the Games program. Thus, 378 finals were held in 16 Paralympic sports and one regional sport. Thus, the Organizing Committee chose to remove sitting volleyball for the first time on Games history from the Games program and replaced it with archery.[17] A extra edition of the Sitting Volleyball Pan American Championship was held between 9 to 13 May, 2023 to define the representatives of the Americas in sport at the 2024 Summer Paralympics.[18][19][20]

Marketing

The Games share most of its branding with the 2023 Pan American Games, including its emblem unveiled in July 2019,[21] and its mascot Fiu—a many-colored rush tyrant—which was announced on October 16, 2021, following an online poll.[22][23]
