1986 Central American Games

The III Central American Games (Spanish: III Juegos Deportivos Centroamericanos) was a multi-sport event that took place between 4–10 January 1986. Initially, the Games were scheduled for 1981 in Managua, Nicaragua, but were cancelled due to the unstable political situation.^[1]

The Games were called the "Peace Games" (Spanish: Juegos de la Paz). ^[2] The official song was the "Hymn of the Peace Games" (Spanish: Himno de los Juegos de la Paz) composed by Alfonso Agulló.^[3][4]

Long-distance runner Mateo Flores was honoured to light the torch in the stadium bearing his name.^[5]
