The 2025 Junior Pan American Games (Spanish: Juegos Panamericanos Junior 2025) is an upcoming international multi-sports event for athletes aged 17 to 22 in the Americas, organized by Panam Sports to be held in Asunción, Paraguay in 2025.[1]

Candidate cities

The deadline for the presentation of candidacy to organize the second Junior Pan American Games was Fall 2022, on which date Asunción, Santa Marta and Lima were selected as host city candidates by Panam Sports. Asunción was chosen as the host city by the General Assemly in Miami on November 28, 2022 and beat out Santa Marta by 16 votes with 32-16.

Asunción, Paraguay

Paraguayan Olympic Committee President Camilo López noted that the reason Asunción applied to host the games was to open the possibility of Paraguay hosting larger multi-sports events, such as the South American Games, 2025 will mark the first time that Paraguay has hosted an Pan Am Sports event.

Santa Marta, Colombia

On January 29, 2019, Mayoress Virna Johnson confirmed that Santa Marta would apply to be the host of the second games.
