The Oldest Regional Games – History of CACSO

The History of the Central American and Caribbean Sports Organization is tied to the history of the Central American and Caribbean Sports Games. These are the oldest regional games, and it was during the planning stages of the IX Games that CACSO was born.

Taken from the history of the IX Games, as published in Los Juegos Regionales Más Antiguos by Enrique Montesinos:

“When a meeting of the General Assembly of Delegates took place in Caracas, it was informed that there had been no bid for venue. After the debate, it was agreed to grant it to Puerto Rico, with the particularity of having the vote of Puerto Rico’s delegate against it.

Two days later, it was known that he was right because the authorities of his country didn’t accept the assignment. It was then that Jamaica became important in its role as a substitute, but there were big concerns due to the expensive costs involved in hosting the games for a small country.
