Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has signed a letter to Panamsports in which he supports Rio de Janeiro's bid to host the 2031 Pan American Games.

According to the organization's post, the games would be held in Niterói, a city where waves abound.

Itacoatiara and Laje do Shock are two of the most famous waves in the city.

The Pan American Games will be held in Lima again in 2027 and now Rio, with Lula's support, is the favorite.
