Since Goa hosted 3 rd  Lusofonia Games in January 2014, Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports advised the Government of Goa to use the funds released for the National Games for creation/ upgradation of sports infrastructure for the the 3 rd  Lusofonia Games also, as both National Games and 3 rd   Lusofonia  Games  have  common  sports  disciplines.  These funds were utilized for creation/ upgradation of sports infrastructure for the

3 rd   Lusofonia  Games  and  the  same  will  also  be  used  for  the  National Games.
