Bidding process

Panama City had presented itself as the only candidate to organize the 2022 Central American and Caribbean Games and also announced the commitment of the Panamanian State to invest 200 million dollars for both infrastructure and the organization of the event. One of the advantages presented by the Panamanian delegation to the Central American and Caribbean Sports Organization is that it will not be necessary to build an athletes village for the event, because instead the athletes will be hosted in hotels thanks to the great capacity in this matter has the city. On February 3, 2017, CACSO announced Panama City will host the event.[2] It will be the third time Panama City host the Central American and Caribbean Games, first in 1938 and in 1970.[3]
