Parapan American Program: Grand Opening Marks this Friday 17th

The Estadio Nacional will be the stage for the official start of the sporting event.

Friday, November 17th, 2023.- One day after the start of the Santiago 2023 Parapan American Games with table tennis at the CEO of Ñuñoa, this Friday, November 17th, attention will be focused on the inauguration ceremony of the great event of the continental parasport.

Table tennis, just like Thursday, will be the only discipline with activity for the day. And then all eyes will be on the main Chilean sports coliseum, which, just as it happened with the recent Pan American Games, will be the venue for the official start of the Parapan American Games.

From 8:30 p.m. local time, a group of outstanding local artists from different musical genres will perform to liven up the party.

They are Beto Cuevas, Ana Tijoux, Pablo Chill-E, Flor de Rap, Denise Rosenthal, Movimiento Original, and Kya.

And the concept that will prevail in the staging of the opening will be the cosmos and people, in a representation called "Here and Now."
