Otto Papis confirms fresh clues in Santa Fe, talks Odesur works | OneFootball

Erick Otto Papis, architect and representative of the Italian firm Mondo in Argentina, appeared on ADN Gol and spoke about the progress of the work for the 2026 Odesur Games, the construction of new athletics tracks, and the company’s growth in different parts of the country.

He highlighted the recent inauguration of the athletics track in Venado Tuerto, which he described as “the most modern in Argentina at the moment,” and emphasized the work carried out together with the Santa Fe-based company Coemyc.

“We are very happy. The authorities were satisfied, and we worked very comfortably with the construction company,” he said.

He also confirmed that the company has begun a stage of expansion linked to the import of sports equipment. “There is a lot of equipment that is not manufactured in the country. Right now, for example, we are bringing in new javelins for the entire Argentine Confederation,” he said.

He also clarified that his current participation is limited solely to supplying the synthetic material and explained that the installation, marking, and certification depend on the construction company in charge of the project.

“We offered all the technical assistance from Argentina and Italy, but today we have no involvement in that part. Those are decisions made by whoever holds the contract.”

He also stressed that certifying a Class 1 track requires very strict controls and international audits. “It is a track that will have many requirements because, in order to certify it, laboratories from abroad have to be brought in to certify absolutely everything,” he explained.

New projects in Santa Fe and the region

He confirmed that there is a master plan to build three new athletics tracks in the province of Santa Fe, mainly in the northern part of the province. “We have already been quoting complete tracks, from earthmoving to the synthetic material,” he revealed.

At the same time, he detailed that they are currently working on the remodeling of school sports facilities such as CEF 4 and CEF 29, where adjustments are being made for jump training, pole vault, and athletics.
