After successfully hosting the last Olympic Games in 2016, Rio de Janeiro will host Pan-American Master Games in September 2020 and rafting (R4) has been included in the programme thanks to the collaboration between Brazilian Rafting Association, Brazilian Canoe Federation, ICF, WRF and IMGA.

United under the spirit of sport for all and promoting an active society, the IOC and IMGA signed an agreement in November 2016 (https://www.olympic.org/news/ioc-steps-up-its-support-for-mature-athletes- and-signs-mou-with-imga) to strengthen their cooperation in the field of masters sports and continue to explore means to promote and encourage mature athletes from all over the world to practise sport regularly.
