Dear Participants,

We welcome you to the First South American Master Games ODESUR Santiago 2021. An event that we together with the Chilean Olympic Committee and the South American Sports Organization, are honoured to host.

Our mission is to provide the best organizational, sporting, and infrastructural conditions to strengthen the development of the Master category in the 15 countries that belong to ODESUR. The local organizing team is preparing to live an unforgettable experience of a Mega Event.

This South American competition aims to promote the Master category, giving continuity to those established in their sports, as well as to those who began late. We expect a real celebration of sports that allows the reunion of athletes, their friends, and families.

We know that the Master games are an example and an inspiration for future generations, in whose systematic practices, they demonstrate the value that sport acquires as a life model. This is precisely what athletes transmit in their skills, and we would love to see this throughout different sports in Santiago de Chile.

Santiago has many attractions to discover; mountains, parks, trails, shopping centres, vineyards, and a rich gastronomy, which makes it the ideal scenario to mix leisure, family enjoyment, sportsmanship and sports.

We hope that this event meets your expectations, that it will be an unforgettable experience and that you can take away the memory of having been a protagonist of the First South American Master Games ODESUR Santiago 2021.

.

Sincerely, Jorge Silva Bórquez Executive Director COLSAM
