Organizers in Guadalajara, Mexico are in negotiations with the Federation of Gay Games to become a co-host of the Gay Games next year.

If successful, the arrangement would allow the Guadalajara and Hong Kong to hold Gay Games XI events simultaneously in November 2023 in an attempt to mitigate the impact of strict COVID-19 travel restrictions on Gay Games participation. "We are very excited about it," Mónica Sánchez Torres, spokesperson for the Guadalajara Gay Games organizers, told the Bay Area Reporter. "We haven't announced it officially yet, but we're going to announce a press conference this week." Hong Kong would mark the first time the Gay Games were held in Asia.

Guadalajara would mark the first time the event was held in Latin America, the first time in a Spanish-speaking country, and the first time the Gay Games were held outside Europe in a country that was not a former British colony.

Torres and David Killian, FGG officer of site selection, both said venues were available in the Guadalajara area that time of year for the biggest Gay Games sports.
