This morning, the Minister of Education, Karla Trigueros, along with the president of the National Sports Institute (INDES), Yamil Bukele, presented the national flag to the student delegation that will represent El Salvador at the Primary level of the 2025 CODICADER Games, to be held from september 10 to 16 in Managua, Nicaragua.

The contingent is made up of students from 10 public and 30 private institutions, who will compete in chess, 7-a-side soccer, gymnastics, kids athletics, mini-basketball, mini-volleyball, swimming, and table tennis. All will receive financial, technical, and logistical support from both the Ministry of Education and INDES, ensuring that they can fully focus on their athletic performance.

Minister Trigueros highlighted the importance of this experience: “You are proof that in our schools we not only train athletes, but also citizens with values and a spirit of achievement. Hold your heads high, believe in your talent, and always give your best, because when we leave the country, we proudly represent El Salvador”.

President Yamil Bukele also sent his words of encouragement: “I want to wish the salvadoran delegation that will participate in the X Juegos Deportivos Estudiantiles Centroamericanos (CODICADER) Primary Level (11-12 years) the best of travels and much success”.
The participation of these young athletes not only reflects the discipline and perseverance cultivated in the classrooms, but also represents an opportunity to raise the profile of El Salvador in the region.
