The 2024 Bolivarian Games, officially 2024 Bicentennial Bolivarian Games (Spanish: Juegos Bolivarianos del Bicentenario 2024), will be the 1st edition of the multi-sport event meant for sports, or disciplines or events within a sport, that are not contested in the Olympic Games, governed by the Organización Deportiva Bolivariana (ODEBO). The event will be held in Ayacucho, and Lima, Peru from 28 November to 8 December 2024 in commemoration of the bicentennial of Battle of Ayacucho.[1]

The Games were originally planned to be held between 6 and 15 December 2024.[1] However, the Government of Peru set the dates of the event from 29 November to 9 December 2024, with the closing day coinciding with the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Ayacucho.[2]

Host city selection

[edit]

In June 2021, the mayor of Ayacucho Yuri Gutiérrez presented to the Peruvian Olympic Committee the intentions of the city to host the 2025 Bolivarian Games.[3][4] On 29 July 2021, during the swearing-in of President Pedro Castillo, the Governor of Ayacucho department Carlos Rúa confirmed the intentions of the city to host the 2025 Bolivarian Games, on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Ayacucho.[5]

The final bidding was presented on 18 December 2021 at the ODEBO General Assembly held in Guayaquil, Ecuador, a city that also presented a bidding to host the 2025 Bolivarian Games.[6] On the same day, the ODEBO Executive Committee selected Ayacucho to host a special and unprecedented edition of the Bolivarian Games for non-Olympic events in some sports,[7] and named Guayaquil as host city for the 2025 Bolivarian Games.[8]

The Games

[edit]

Participating National Olympic Committees

[edit]

All 7 ODEBO's National Olympic Committees (NOCs) and 3 invited NOCs will compete in these games.[9][10]

Sports

[edit]

Ayacucho 2024 proposed an initial program of 25 sports in 35 disciplines (of these 25, only 4 are on the Olympic program: 3x3 Basketball, Weightlifting, Taekwondo and Rugby sevens).[7][11] The 2024 Bolivarian Games final program maintained the number of sports at 25 but with the following changes: Canoeing (in Slalom and Rafting), Dancesport, Duathlon, Racquetball, Sport climbing, Aeromodeling and Teqball were dropped from the initial program while Cycling, Esports, Kickboxing, Muaythai and Softball were added to the final program. Half Marathon was replaced by the Long-distance 4 × 9000 metres relay.[12][13]

The numbers in parentheses indicate the number of medal events contested in each sports discipline.

Marketing

[edit]

The Games' bid slogan was Bolivarian Games For All – Ayacucho 2024 (Spanish: Juegos Bolivarianos Para Todos – Ayacucho 2024).[1]
