In April 2027, thousands of under-21 athletes from all over the country will compete in an integrated Olympic and Paralympic format. Rosario once again becomes a protagonist in Argentine sports, consolidating its role as a host city for major events and as a platform for the development of youth high performance.

In the Carrasco Hall of the Rosario Municipal Palace, the first edition of the JADAR Junior 2027 was presented, a competition that will take place in April 2027 and will bring together 10,000 under-21 athletes from the 24 provinces of the country, integrating conventional and adapted sports under an inclusive, sustainable model aligned with international standards.

The event was led by the mayor of Rosario, Pablo Javkin, the president of the COA, Mario Moccia, the president of Copar, Gustavo Borro, the Secretary of Sports of the province of Santa Fe, Fernando Maletti, and the Secretary of Sports and Tourism of Rosario, Alejandra Mattheus.

Pablo Javkin explained that the JADAR Junior 2027: “have two fundamental characteristics. First, they bring together the whole country, with all 24 provinces participating. Second, Olympic and Paralympic sports compete simultaneously without distinction. And that was a unique experience, almost unprecedented worldwide, that originated from the Jadar of Rosario.”

“We are going to experience something beautiful because we will have more than 10,000 young people from all over Argentina, competing and training, and it will allow us to host an event with all the infrastructure of the South Americans,” he added.

For his part, Mario Moccia expressed: “We are happy to be here in Rosario, in this city that has given us so much joy in organizing international events such as the South American Beach Games, the South American Youth Games, the Argentine High-Performance Games in September, and now we can announce the Argentine Junior High-Performance Games for the year 2027.”

Regarding the JADAR 2027, the president of the COA highlighted: “it is a proposal that completes the Olympic cycle, allowing for a competition for young people preparing for the Junior Pan American Games of 2029 with a two-year difference. That's why we make it under-21 so that the best athletes who will represent Argentina in 2029 can be selected and projected.”

He also mentioned that they considered “the legacy that the South American Games Santa Fe 2026 will leave in infrastructure, providing the best conditions to make a true celebration of Argentine sports in this beautiful city and in this province that considers sports as a policy of its management.”

As a distinctive feature, the JADAR Junior will be developed in two waves of competition that will optimize venues, resources, and logistics. Its sports program will be inspired by the Junior Pan American Games Asunción 2025 and will function as official Argentine Championships for team sports, ensuring the highest competitive level and a balanced federal representation.

Additionally, the National High-Performance Sports Entity (ENARD) will be responsible for conducting physical, medical, and functional evaluations of the athletes, with the aim of building a national base for tracking youth talents. This tool will be key to guiding evidence-based sports policies and planning long-term strategies.
