The IV Central American Games (Spanish: IV Juegos Deportivos Centroamericanos) was a multi-sport event that took place between 5–14 January 1990. The games were officially opened by Honduran president José Azcona.[1] Torch lighter was Zacarías Arzú,[2] who represented Honduras internationally in both baseball and football.[3]

Participation

The Games saw the first appearance of athletes from Belize. Panamá did not participate because of the recent political and military incidents. Therefore, athletes from only 6 countries were reported to participate:[1]

The 1990 Central American and Caribbean Games in Mexico were staged in November and December 1990.

Sports

The competition featured 23 disciplines from 22 sports (plus bodybuilding as exhibition).[4]
