The IX Central American Games ((スペイン語:IX Juegos Deportivos Centroamericanos)) was a multi-sport event that took place between 9 and 19 April 2010.〔(Aplazan los Centroamericanos ). Crítica. Retrieved on 31 January 2010.〕 The competition featured 23 sports which were contested at various venues, with Panama acting as the primary host country and El Salvador playing a supporting role.〔(Tres países acogerán los IX Juegos Centroamericanos en el 2010 ). La Prensa. Retrieved on 30 September 2009.〕 ==Preparation== The event was delayed twice: it was first set to take place in San Pedro Sula in December 2009, but was cancelled due to the 2009 Honduran political crisis,〔(No habrá Juegos Centroamericanos en Honduras ). Univisión. Retrieved on 30 September 2009.〕 and a second delay occurred at the request of Panama (one of the replacement host countries), who could not keep to the agreed 2–14 March programme due to delays in the renovation of the Estadio Rommel Fernández (where the athletics events were due to be held).〔 On top of this, in November 2009, El Salvador ruled out the possibility of four sporting events (skating, archery, squash and bodybuilding) as a result of economic problems caused by the extensive flooding in the country that month.〔(Participarán todos ). El Diario de Hoy. Retrieved on 13 November 2009.〕 Nevertheless, on 10 January 2010, Melitón Sánchez, the president of the Organización Deportiva Centroamericana (ORDECA), announced that the events would go ahead as originally planned.〔(Luz verde en los Juegos Centroamericanos ). Diario Co Latino. Retrieved on 17 January 2010.〕 However, the change of the games schedule led the Union Centroamericana de Futbol (the Central American Union for association football) to instruct its member associations not to compete at the event, as it clashed with the more prestigious XXI Central American and Caribbean Games.〔(UNCAF define formato eliminatorio ). Emisoras Unidas. Retrieved on 3 February 2010.〕 Following the news, Guatemala – also previously designated as a supporting host country – pulled out of the event in protest of the decision to postpone the games until April.〔(Guatemala renunció a participar en Juegos Centroamericanos ). Hora Cero. Retrieved on 4 February 2010.〕 In reaction to this, El Salvador, through the Instituto Nacional de los Deportes de El Salvador, announced that it too would withdraw,〔(El Salvador se suma a Guatemala y se retira de Juegos Centroamericanos ). EcoDiario. Retrieved on 5 February 2010.〕 although its Olympic Committee reversed the decision.〔(El Salvador asistirá a los IX Juegos Centroamericanos ). El Diario de Hoy. Retrieved on 13 February 2010.〕 In agreement with the games organisation committee, Panama decided to hold eight of the sports which were initially set to take place in Guatemala.〔(Panamá albergará 19 deportes de los Juegos Centroamericanos de abril ). Panamá América.
