On 9 May 2020 the ‘Latin American Center for Coubertinian Studies’ was launched.

The Center brings together all the national Pierre de Coubertin Committees that currently exist in Latin America and those that seek to be recognized. Its goal is to attract researchers and those interested in the “Life and work of Pierre de Coubertin” and to promote ‘Academic projects’ and ‘Educational Knowledge Transfer’ in Portuguese and Spanish languages.

Representatives from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico and Uruguay participated in this founding conference online.
