This Wednesday, the governor attended the semifinal rounds of the boxing competition taking place at the Invencible Rafaela stadium, and visited the South American Village: “We in Santa Fe deserved to experience an event of this kind. We are showing the world that we can organize an event of this magnitude,” he emphasized.

Governor Maximiliano Pullaro attended this Wednesday the semifinal rounds of the boxing competition being held at the Invencible Rafaela stadium, as part of the 2026 South American Games, which have been taking place in the province of Santa Fe since last Saturday. Earlier, the governor visited the South American Village in the same city, where he spoke with the athletes. On the occasion, the governor highlighted that “all the channels in the province and the country are covering this sporting event. And it is going very well,” and expressed the hope that “we can enjoy these 10 days of competition we still have left, because sport is the best thing that can happen to a society, because it is the culture of effort, discipline, and work, values that are useful for life.” “We want the South American Games to be experienced with great intensity, to leave a legacy for young people and adults, and to make it possible to compete in the best sports stadiums. That is why we decided to build two more stadiums, in Reconquista and Venado Tuerto, so that each region of the province has the infrastructure that allows us to host this type of sporting event.” Regarding the support of the people of Santa Fe at all the venues, Pullaro said that “what is being experienced is incredible; we are living it with great passion and joy, because we in Santa Fe deserved to experience an event of this kind. Today we are showing the best of ourselves, we are showing the world that we can organize an event of this magnitude.” He stressed that the success is not due only to the State, “but also to the private sector alongside the State, to the hundreds of volunteers who joined in to help, to the journalists. Ultimately, to all of us who want to show a different province.” Finally, the governor said that the Games are “an opportunity. We invested a great deal, but it is already generating more than we had expected. Now, it has to become a wheel that starts turning and does not stop,” and he gave an example: “Invencible Rafaela has to have a lot of life and generate events that everyone can enjoy, but also to create jobs. Governing today means creating jobs, so tourism has to be a source of work in the province of Santa Fe,” Pullaro concluded.
