South American Games: Scioli hails Santa Fe's work for Argentine sport | OneFootball

This Tuesday, Governor Maximiliano Pullaro welcomed the Nation’s Secretary of Tourism, Environment and Sports, Daniel Scioli, with whom he toured the track at the renovated High-Performance Sports Center (CARD) in the city of Santa Fe, where the athletics events for the 2026 South American Games have begun.

Scioli highlighted the organization of the Games, the infrastructure that was built, and the work done to support the athletes, describing them as a platform toward the Pan American and Olympic Games: “We have done a great deal of work throughout all this time to support the athletes and reach this stage with scholarships and infrastructure,” he said, adding that the event “demonstrates the strength of an international sporting event in promoting invincible Santa Fe to Argentina.”

The official praised “everything Santa Fe is doing for Argentine sport,” noting that “years ago, it was unthinkable for Rosario to be a tourist hub like it is today, with major tourist activity and being chosen for its quality gastronomy, its hotels, and its vibrant youth scene, which is a great opportunity.”

In that context, Pullaro expressed his gratitude for the support of the national government alongside the Province in organizing the international competition and highlighted their joint achievement in “pacifying the major cities,” acknowledging that “the national government stood by our side,” while also mentioning the participation of “all levels of the state in making an event of this kind possible.”

The provincial leader emphasized Daniel Scioli’s support and said that “if the Games are what they are today, it is thanks to his support, with the backing of the President of the Nation, Javier Milei.”
