The VI Central American Games (Spanish: VI Juegos Deportivos Centroamericanos) was a multi-sport event that took place between 5–15 December 1997. The shooting competitions were hosted by San Salvador, El Salvador.
The games had to be postponed, because the original date (5–14 September 1997) could not be kept for various reasons, among others delayed construction works.[1][2]
The games were opened by Honduran president Carlos Roberto Reina.[3]
