It's part of Paraguay's push to be a major international sports stage in 2030. It also will host an opening game of the men's soccer World Cup that year. Peña spoke with reporters after leading a delegation to meet International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach in Lausanne. Peña says "It's an opportunity to raise the level of knowledge about the country." He is an economist educated at Columbia University in New York.
