Valledupar, March 16, 2026. The organization of the II Parasuramerican Games Valledupar 2026 officially started the accreditation process for media and journalists interested in covering the multisport event, enabling from this date the online registration system.
The process is aimed at national and international media – radio, television, print and digital platforms – as well as press teams of government entities and communications staff of sports federations and Pan American confederations, who must comply with a procedure that will validate their participation in the fairs.
The opening of this stage marks a key advance in the organization of the event. “The press will be fundamental before, during and after the Games. It will not only make the competitions visible, but also project Valledupar and Agustín Codazzi as host territories, show the continent the value of inclusion and the social sense of this project, and tell the legacy that these Games will leave for the city, for Colombia and for the whole region”, said the director of the Valledupar 2026 Parasuramerican Games, Elmer Jiménez Silva.
