Session 4: Sport in Chile

The importance of sport is immense, and it isn’t only a health benefit that is obtained. In most of the poorest people in our country sport is a method to escape a reality that most of the time is quite distressing. Sport helps to make learning to relate to people, to work together, have fun and create new instances of encounter.

Unfortunately there is no real government support for the realization of sport in our country. No resources to promote the sport in vulnerable communities, and the few that there are not invested in the appropriate manner.

It has become a real necessity that the government doesn’t neglect investment in sport. With the creation of this new sports ministry should change. I think that make and promote the sport does well to many areas of our lives.
