2014 Lusofonia Games
The 2014 Lusofonia Games was the third edition of the Lusofonia Games, a multi-sport event held between athletes from Portuguese-speaking countries and territories. It was held from 18 to 29 January 2014 in the Indian state of Goa.
Brazil and Sri Lanka also put in bids to stage the event. Participating delegations represented every Portuguese-speaking National Olympic Committee and other countries with historic ties to Portugal. The Chairman for these Games was Manohar Parrikar, the chief minister of Goa and the Chief Executive Officer was Keshav Chandra IAS, Secretary to the Government of Goa for Sports and Education. The Games were originally planned to be held in 2013, but was postponed and moved to the January 2014 dates.
Since Goa was elected to host the games, Brazil chose not to send their athletes because of the "huge postponement" of the competition. Only seven Brazilian athletes, attending independently of the Brazilian Olympic Committee, competed at the 2014 Lusophone Games.
