Guyana was successful in hosting major international events in 2024- Sport Minister

In 2024, Guyana hosted 29 international sport events, a massive increase from the 15 held the previous year.

For Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Charles Ramson Jr., this represents significant progress in Guyana’s mission to become a hub for major international events.

During the last year, Guyana was able to successfully host matches in the Men’s T20 World Cup, the CPL Finals, the first-ever Global Super League, the Senior Caribbean Cycling Championship, the Central America and Caribbean Bodybuilding Championship, the Senior Caribbean Squash Championship and the ENet Caribbean Motor-Racing Championship, among other events.

Speaking at a press conference on Saturday to review his ministry’s achievements for 2024, Ramson Jr. touched on the economic benefits derived from hosting those championships, the global visibility for the country and the method that was employed by government to ensure every event was a success.
