The International President of Panathlon International, Giorgio Chinellato, has arrived in the Dominican Republic, where he was welcomed with great enthusiasm by the President of the new Panathlon Club Santo Domingo, Domingo Solano.
The visit represents an important opportunity to meet members, strengthen ties with the local Panathlon community and meet Panathletes from other countries. President Chinellato has also been invited to attend the Opening Ceremony and the events linked to the Central American and Caribbean Games, one of the continent’s most prestigious sporting events.
Recognised by the International Olympic Committee as the oldest regional multi-sport event, the 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games in Santo Domingo will bring together over 6,000 athletes from 37 countries. This event of great international significance will offer Panathlon International a key opportunity to strengthen its presence in the Caribbean region and promote the values of fair play, ethics and respect through sport.
The highlight of the mission will be on 25 July, when, thanks to an initiative by President Solano, the International President will sign a Memorandum of Understanding with Centro Caribe Sports to ensure the Club’s presence at the Central American and Caribbean Games and to actively promote the culture of sport and Fair Play.
