The activity, carried out jointly between the Municipality of La Pintana and the Santiago 2023 Corporation, started with a "zumbaton" (a long Zumba dance session) that brought together students from the different Zumba workshops in the district. The objective of the meeting was to formalize the cooperation between both institutions for the Games.

During the day, it was possible to participate in dance workshops, physical conditioning, while important sports organizations such as "Trapiales Rugby Club" were also present. In total, more than 120 people gathered on field 2 of the stadium, where children and their families enjoyed this event outdoors.

After signing the agreement, Gianna Cunazza –executive director of Santiago 2023– highlighted the affection and good reception that the Games have had in La Pintana: “This agreement will allow neighbors to get closer to sport, practice them with joy, learn different concepts, different contents and have a healthier life with a better quality. That is what we expect through the different programs that we are going to develop in La Pintana.” 

For her part, Claudia Pizarro, mayor of La Pintana, was happy after the alliance that will benefit the residents: “Sport is in the DNA of every person in La Pintana. For us it is very important to host Rugby 7 during the next Pan American Games and to make us visible.” 

At Santiago 2023, Rugby 7 will take place between November 3 and 4 at the Estadio Municipal de La Pintana. We’ll be waiting for you here!
