Guyana is set to host the CARIFTA Games for the first time in 2027, becoming the first South American nation to do so, while Barbados steps back in for 2028 — the first time since 2001. After Saint Kitts and Nevis and Trinidad and Tobago pulled out, Caricom leaders swiftly stepped in to secure the event, earning praise from NACAC Athletics president Mike Sands, who called it vital for the future of the world’s premier junior athletics competition. The move underscores the immense pressure on small Caribbean nations to host, as seen with Grenada’s double hosting in three years — a testament to regional collaboration. NACAC reached out to Caricom leaders ahead of their July meeting, emphasizing sports’ transformative power for youth. Since its 1972 inception by Barbadian Austin Sealy, the Games have remained a Caribbean cornerstone, with Jamaica dominating the medal table for 48 straight editions — including the last 40 — cementing its legacy as a vital tradition for young athletes across the region.
