Bids for the Pan American Games

Bids for the Pan American Games is the process where associations select from within their national territory cities to put forward bids to host a Pan American Games, which is governed by Panam Sports. The host cities also hold the Parapan American Games following the conclusion of the Pan American Games.

The General Assembly of Panam Sports is responsible for deciding who will host the Games. The federation then entrusts the organisation of the games to the organising committee, association, and government of the winning host nation or territory, including security and finance, but is still monitored by the federation.[1][2][3][4]
