On March 15 and 16, the second technical conference of the organization of the eighth edition of the Central American University Sports Games -JUDUCA- will take place in El Salvador, during the month of July 2023.

Games organized by the Regional Student Life Council -CONREVE-, body of the Central American Higher University Council -CSUCA-.

Indicating the importance of the preparation that is generated by the second congress, prior to the celebration of the Central American University Sports Games, Carlos Alvarado, Secretary General of CSUCA expressed ?These games seek to develop promotional activities, participation, through an important integration , supported by educational and cultural values that contribute to their educational formation, and what better than to develop them within the framework of the 75th anniversary of CSUCA?.

Due to the health crisis that was experienced throughout the world, the VIII edition of the JUDUCA could not be held during the year 2020, as planned. For this reason, since 2022, the University of El Salvador, together with CSUCA authorities, recognizing the work of Jorge Cortéz, President of CONREVE, Miguel Gutiérrez, Assistant Secretary for Student Affairs of CSUCA and the Regional Student Life Council, have made its effort in order to resume this activity that allows the development of students from public universities in the countries of Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and the Dominican Republic.

Jorge Cortez, President of CONREVE, pointed out, mentioning that these games are one of the best representations that are being given by the Regional Student Life System -SIREVE- and CONREVE in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of CSUCA.
