This reunion brings together approximately 350 athletes from different municipalities to celebrate life, health, camaraderie, and the enthusiasm of those who demonstrate that it is never too late to stay active, learn, and enjoy sports.

This tournament represents the grand final of the regional competitions held throughout the year and aims to promote active, healthy and inclusive aging, as well as recognize the talent, discipline and greater spirits of older people in Guanajuato.

During 2026, the State DIF (System for Integral Family Development), in coordination with the State Sports Commission (CODE), promoted 18 regional cachibol tournaments, distributed across the State’s six regions, with competitions in men’s, women’s, and mixed categories. Champion teams were selected in each region and are now competing for the top spots in this State competition.

In addition to volleyball, the event includes athletics, swimming, chess, and dominoes, opening up opportunities for more seniors to participate according to their abilities and interests.

This edition had the participation of representatives of 23 municipalities, the result of a coordination effort involving the municipal DIF systems.

This tournament allows older people to socialize, make new friends, share experiences, and strengthen their sense of belonging.
