Participating delegations represented every Portuguese-speaking National Olympic Committee and other countries with historic ties to Portugal. The Chairman for these Games was Manohar Parrikar, the chief minister of Goa and the Chief Executive Officer was Keshav Chandra IAS, Secretary to the Government of Goa for Sports and Education. The Games were originally planned to be held in 2013, but was postponed and moved to the January 2014 dates. Since Goa was elected to host the games, Brazil chose not to send their athletes because of the "huge postponement" of the competition. Only seven Brazilian athletes, attending independently of the Brazilian Olympic Committee, competed at the 2014 Lusophone Games.http://blogs.estadao.com.br/olimpilulas/sem-brasil-jogos-da-lusofonia-sofrem-criticas-e-so-tem-site-em-ingles/ Sem Brasil, Jogos da Lusofonia só se comunicam em Inglês 22 January 2014 Estadao 2014-05-11 Portuguese Participating countries All ACOLOP member and associated member countries were expected to participate in these Games: Members 22em , China Associate members Venues List of 2014 Lusophone Games Venues https://web.archive.org/web/20131221134946/http://www.lusofoniagames2014.gov.in/venues 21 December 2013 Venue City Capacity Sports Ref Fatorda Stadium Margão 22,000 Football http://lusofoniagames2014.gov.in/venue/pjn Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Fatorda 6 January 2014 6 January 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140106140646/http://lusofoniagames2014.gov.in/venue/pjn dead GMC Athletic Stadium Bambolim 3,600 Athletics http://lusofoniagames2014.gov.in/venue/gmc Athletics Stadium, Bambolim 6 January 2014 6 January 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140106141830/http://lusofoniagames2014.gov.in/venue/gmc dead Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Indoor Stadium Bambolim 4,000 Basketball & Volleyball Multipurpose Indoor Stadium, Goa University https://web.archive.org/web/20140106141025/http://lusofoniagames2014.gov.in/venue/guc 6 January 2014 Multipurpose Indoor Stadium, Goa University https://web.archive.org/web/20140915211236/http://www.goacom.com/sports/17179-indoor-stadium-at-taleigao-named-after-s-p-mukherjee 15 September 2014 Tilak Maidan Stadium Vasco da Gama 5,000 Football http://lusofoniagames2014.gov.in/venue/tilak Tilak Maidan Stadium, Vasco 6 January 2014 6 January 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140106140058/http://lusofoniagames2014.gov.in/venue/tilak dead Multipurpose Indoor Stadium Peddem 2,000 Judo, Taekwondo, Table Tennis & Wushu http://lusofoniagames2014.gov.in/venue/indoor Multipurpose Indoor Stadium, Peddem 6 January 2014 6 January 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140106140045/http://lusofoniagames2014.gov.in/venue/indoor dead Miramar Beach Panaji 1,900 Beach Volleyball http://lusofoniagames2014.gov.in/venue/miramar Miramar Beach, Panaji 6 January 2014 6 January 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140106140031/http://lusofoniagames2014.gov.in/venue/miramar dead Sports thumb|right|Jojo, the official mascot of the Games For these Games, 97 events in 9 sports, were contested for medals.
