TFCRegina Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Anyone know what the format for this tournament usually is for football? Wikipedia is pretty weak on the whole thing. Are the Pan Am Games FIFA sanctioned? Can we cap new players at it? Anything interesting to note about the tournament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpg75 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 At the '99 games in Winnipeg it was an U22 competition for the Men. 2 groups of 4 i believe and then semi's and final, but i'm not 100% sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Rollins1555362254 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 It's meant to be a prep event for the Olympics, so a u-22 event makes the most sense. Still, the Pan/Ams are an odd little event and the TPAOC will have a lot to say about how the events are organized. They just named the head earlier this month and haven't really et up the office yet, so it will be a while until we see some news on this front.
