Highlights Of The Pan American Games 2027

For the first time ever, cricket will be included at the Pan American Games 2027 to align with its addition to the 2028 Summer Olympics and reflect the sport’s growing popularity in the Americas.

Moreover, Basketball, breaking, bowling, and racquetball, which were featured in previous editions, have been dropped, with basketball’s absence due to a dispute between FIBA and Pan Am Sports.
