Interested cities[]

Buenos Aires initially bid for the 2023 Pan American Games, but withdrew their bid for financial reasons. Gerardo Werthein, the president of the Argentine Olympic Committee (COA), stated, "I would like Argentina to present its Olympic candidacy for 2032, but for now I'm only thinking about [the PanAm Games in] 2027."[3]
On January 14, 2019, the Minister of Sports of Bolivia Tito Montaño expressed his interest for candidacy for the Pan American Games. Although a specific city has not been determined, Montaño stated that a candidate city will be determined within the coming weeks. Bolivia has never submitted a bid for the Games.[4][5]
On October 24, 2018, Mayor of Barranquilla Alejandro Char confirmed Barranquilla's interest in the 2023 Pan American Games. After a successful hosting of the 2018 Central American and Caribbean Games, Char was inspired to meet with Panam Sports President Neven Ilić Álvarez. After the meeting, Char told reporters, "After this meeting I’m feeling more calm, confident and sure than ever that we can do it ... We are going to do everything in our power to make the advancements to hold the Games that Barranquilla wants and deserves."[6]
