Host city election[edit]
Santiago, Chile, had originally been awarded the 7th Pan American Games. Financial difficulties and political turmoil forced the organizers to withdraw. The Brazilian city of São Paulo was then awarded the games, but was forced to withdraw on October 17, 1974, due to financial problems and a meningitis outbreak. On October 19, 1974, Mexico City was named host city, making it the first Pan Am repeat host. PASO members were so impressed by the organization of the Games on such short notice, they elected the President of the Mexican Olympic Committee, Mario Vázquez Raña, as the next PASO President during their meeting in Mexico City.
