The 1991 Pan American Games were held in Havana , Cuba from August 2 to August 18, 1991. There were 4,519 athletes from 39 countries of the PASO community, with events in 33 different sports. The main stadium was the Estadio Panamericano , a multi-use stadium in Havana that holds 50,000 people.
Host city election
Havana was the only non-withdrawn bid to host the 1991 Pan American Games . At the Pan American Games (ODEPA) Assembly, from November 12 to 14, 1986, in Bridgetown , Barbados, Mar del Plata withdrew its bid, leaving Havana as the winner to host the Games. [1] London, Ontario , Canada also submitted a bid, but withdrew from the bid process due to the federal government prohibiting all funding from any international multi-sport events (aside from the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics ).
