A reluctant Goa finally hosted the 3rd Lusofonia Games in January with a fair degree of success after seeking postponement from the original date in November 2013. More than 700 athletes arrived for the third edition of the Games which had competitions in athletics at Pedem Mapusa; football at Fatorda, basketball and volleyball at University ground, Taleigao; judo and taekwondo at Fatorda, TT at Community Hall, Taleigao, beach volleyball at Mira Mar, and Wushu at Pernem.
