Centro Caribe Sports

What Centro Caribe Sports does

Centro Caribe Sports is a private non-profit sports governing body recognized by the International Olympic Committee as the oldest sports organization in Central America and the Caribbean. Founded in 1926 following an act of creation signed in Paris on July 4, 1924, the organization (formerly ODECABE, rebranded in October 2019) coordinates 35 National Olympic Committees and operates the quadrennial Central American and Caribbean Games and Central American and Caribbean Beach Games. It does not operate a commercial technology product; instead, its core offerings are large-scale multi-sport events, with supporting digital infrastructure including the Museo Digital heritage platform, CCS Channel streaming service, and the Revista Huellas publication series. The Beach Games line was inaugurated in Santa Marta, Colombia in 2022 with 600+ athletes from 26 NOCs, and the centennial XXV Games are scheduled for Santo Domingo from July 24 to August 9, 2026, projecting 5,000-8,000+ athletes.

The organization's technology footprint is limited to event-supporting platforms rather than commercial software products. Key platforms include the official website (centrocaribesports.org), a per-edition Games website (jcc2026.org), the CCS Channel for streaming broadcasts, the Digital Museum for sports heritage preservation, and the Editorial Fund (Fondo Editorial CCS) for commemorative publications. Distribution channels are primarily physical (rotating host cities), broadcast (regional partners including Canal TRD's Channels 20 and 42 in the Dominican Republic), and digital (Instagram with 5,335+ followers, YouTube). There are no APIs, SDKs, or proprietary technology products disclosed.

Revenue mechanics are those of a non-profit federation: IOC recognition, NOC member dues, event-cycle ticket and broadcasting revenues, and event-specific sponsorships such as Banreservas as the official bank of Santo Domingo 2026. The organization is led by President Luis Mejía Oviedo (Dominican Republic), who is also an IOC member, supported by an Executive Committee and multiple commissions (Athletes, Medical, Anti-Doping, Marketing, Legal, Environment). No commercial revenue, funding rounds, or external equity ownership are disclosed.

Regional players

• Caribbean Association of National Olympic Committees (CANOC): Regional body grouping Caribbean NOCs. Geographic overlap with CCS membership and complementary mandate around Caribbean athlete development and Olympic participation.

Direct peers

• South American Sports Organization (ODESUR): Regional multi-sport governing body organizing the South American Games. Closely comparable in structure, scope, and function to CCS, focused on a different sub-region of the Americas.
• Olympic Council of Asia (OCA): Continental governing body for Asian National Olympic Committees that organizes the Asian Games. Directly comparable as a multi-sport federation organizing the largest regional multi-sport event outside the Olympics.
• Oceania National Olympic Committees (ONOC): Association of National Olympic Committees from Oceania. Comparable in function as a regional NOC umbrella body coordinating multi-sport participation and Olympic pathway activities.
• Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa (ANOCA): Continental association grouping African NOCs and coordinating the African Games. Comparable to CCS in its role as the multi-sport umbrella organization for NOCs across a defined region.
• Pan American Sports Organization (PASO/Panam Sports): Continental multi-sport governing body for the Americas, organizing the Pan American Games. Directly comparable to CCS as the next-tier multi-sport federation feeding into the Olympic pathway for the same hemisphere.
• European Olympic Committees (EOC): Association of European National Olympic Committees that organizes the European Games. Directly comparable as a continental multi-sport federation grouping NOCs and staging a quadrennial multi-sport event.

Broad incumbents
