The Pan American and Parapan American Games are closer and closer, and the details of the most important multisport event of our country have already been revealed with the unveiling of the collective sports balls models that will be present in the competition.
In a ceremony that took place during last Thursday at the Viña Concha y Toro, located in Pirque, the matrix house of the sponsor Casillero del Diablo, it was revealed the equipment designs that will be used for conventional sports such as handball, basketball, volleyball, and beach volleyball, and adapted disciplines such as wheelchair basketball and wheelchair rugby.
The president of the Chilean Olympic Committee, Miguel Ángel Mujica, highlighted the agreement between these strategic alliances. “These milestones are great news, not only because of the importance of the sponsor brands, but also due to the importance of both public and private actors working together to support sports.”
In addition, the president of the Chilean Paralympic Committee, Sebastián Villavicencio, added that “we’re proud because the Paralympic world keeps growing, so counting with first level alliances is key to the development of the Games and also for our daily work.”
