La Paz Gets Moving! Municipal Sports Closes a Historic First Quarter of 2026 with Record Support for Athletes

The first quarter of 2026 has been a "home run" for sports in our capital. With a strategy that combines the rescue of public spaces and direct support for local talent, the **La Paz City Council** has managed to strengthen physical activity at all levels. Under the direction of the Municipal Sports Institute (IMD), these first three months of the year have served to consolidate programs like **"Impulso Deportivo"**, which aims to bring the practice of various disciplines to every corner of the municipality, ensuring that no talented youth is left out of the game due to a lack of resources or facilities.

The key to this success lies not only in trophies but in **infrastructure**. Significant investment has been reported in the rehabilitation of multi-purpose courts and baseball fields, prioritizing lighting and preventive maintenance. This has allowed night tournaments and municipal leagues to operate at full capacity, fostering family togetherness and steering youth away from risky behaviors. Furthermore, the preparation of La Paz athletes for the **2026 CONADE Nationals** has been intense, with training camps and constant evaluations promising a shower of medals for Baja California Sur.

We celebrate that sports are seen for what they truly are: a motor for social change. It's not just about running faster or jumping higher, but about building a healthier and more disciplined community. This closing of the first quarter is just the beginning of a year projected to be the most active in La Paz's recent history. Congratulations to our athletes for putting in the work and raising the name of our peninsula high!
