Improving community sports facilities demonstrates that the community is a key factor in the development of Santiago 2023 , according to Pan American Games chief executive Felipe de Pablo.
Two multi-sport courts were upgraded as part of efforts by the organisers of the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games to strengthen their links with the community.
New goals, backboards and colourful flooring were installed at the Víctor Jara court in Cerrillos, where the Pan American Games Athletes’ Village will be built.
Football and basketball balls were also delivered to the community by Santiago 2023.
Arturo Aguirre, Mayor of the Cerrillos district, Isabel Jofré, President of the Neighbourhood Council of the Villa Real, de Pablo and sports area manager Ximena Restrepo arrived at the Víctor Jara Human Rights Square to celebrate the completion of the work.
