Competition Venues
Tested by champions.
Eager for a new chapter.
Most of the venues required for 2031 are already built and fully operational—legacy infrastructure from when Rio hosted the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games and Pan American Games in 2007. This will enable us to achieve greater heights.
The new generation of Pan American athletes will compete in the same arenas where iconic champions made history, adding new chapters to a stage marked by unforgettable moments.
Street events, like athletics (race walk), cycling (road), and triathlon will pass through the beaches and parks of Copacabana and Niterói, with large crowds along the routes guaranteed. The marathon will follow a route that passes through several iconic landmarks, providing an opportunity for thousands of residents to get involved in the celebration of this grand event.
Other outdoor events, such as canoeing, rowing, and sailing, will attract large crowds beyond the seating capacities of the venues. Live Sites will be strategically located near these venues, as well as across the country, to ensure broader community participation and an enhanced spectator experience.
We recognize the possibility of new sports being added to the competition schedule and, considering all summer sports, confirm its ability to accommodate any of them regarding competition venues, training locations, transportation, and any other operational or logistical considerations.

The Pan American Village
The Pan American Village will accommodate athletes with the best structure to live and train during the Games. Located in Praça Mauá, in the heart of Rio, it ensures fast connections to both Rio and Niterói venues. Built under strict sustainability principles, the Village is designed to last: after the Games, it will be transformed into a modern building, becoming a permanent contribution to the city’s urban landscape.
