The Evita Games were convened annually in honour of the late wife of the former President, Evita Peron. All primary and high schools were taking part in these games. The communities and families were part of the games to introduce sports to newcomers and no competitive sport was encouraged at that level. The Evita Games were introduced during 2000 as part of promoting healthy lifestyles and forging strong family relations through sport as a tool for social cohesion. The Evita Games were promoting values of teamwork, respect and solidarity through social sport. The children were encouraged to participate without any expectation of good performance. Therefore participation was purely for social cohesion as opposed to competitive sport.
