2025 Junior Pan American Games

The 2025 Junior Pan American Games (Spanish: Juegos Panamericanos Junior 2025), also named Asu 2025, were the second edition of the Junior Pan American Games, an international multi-sports event for athletes aged 17 to 22 in the Americas, organized by Panam Sports. It was held in Asunción, Paraguay between August 9 and 23, 2025. It was the first time that the Pan American Games, either senior or junior, took place in Paraguay.

Bidding process Three cities expressed interest in hosting the games: Asunción, Paraguay: At the beginning of the 2022 South American Games, held in Asunción, the President of Paraguay Mario Abdo Benítez announced that the country's capital was being submitted as the host city for the Junior Games with the intention of reusing the infrastructure used for the South American Games. Lima, Peru: In 2022, Mayor of Lima Miguel Romero Sotelo, supported by the Peruvian Olympic Committee and the Peruvian Institute of Sport, presented a project submitting Lima as the host city for the games. Infractructure used at the 2019 Pan American Games was expected to be reused for the Junior Games. Santa Marta, Colombia: The city was submitted as the host city, celebrating the future 500th anniversary of the city in 2025. The Junior Games would serve as practice for future bids for other multi-sport events.

The voting process took place on 28 November 2022, at an assembly in Miami, United States. Asunción and Santa Marta were the only official contenders as Lima withdrew its bid a few days before the assembly. With 32 votes over 16, Asunción was chosen as the host city for the games.
