Central America and Caribbean Games

The Central American and Caribbean Games (CAC abbreviated for Central American and Caribbean Games ), and 1935 Central American Games are a major sporting event in America. The event has usually been held every four years since 1926. It is considered the oldest regional multisport event in the world.

Athletes from Central America , the Caribbean , Mexico , Bermuda , Suriname , Guyana , Colombia and Venezuela can take part. In contrast to other multisport events, there is often not just one venue for the various sports. The different venues can even be in different countries, but officially there is always a main venue.
