Thus, Lima 2019 cost less than the programmed budget, which has not been the case in other Games that went over their initial budgets.

Neuhaus highlighted the major projects carried out by his organization, such as the National Sports Village (Videna), the main competition center during the Games; the Villa El Salvador Sports Center; the Villa María del Triunfo Sports Center; the Callao Regional Sports Village; the National University of San Marcos stadium; and the High-performance Surf Center in Punta Rocas.

In this context, Neuhaus said that, thanks to Lima 2019, Peru has quality sports infrastructure that is already being used for different events, such as the National School Sports Games in Videna, the National Hockey Championship in the fields of Villa María del Triunfo and volleyball tournaments in Callao.

After his presentation, Carlos Neuhaus received a recognition from Luis Tenorio, the director of the Industrial Development Center of the National Society of Industries and was applauded by the audience.
