The Ministerio de Cultura y Deportes de Guatemala published a series of posts on November 14, 2025, highlighting events related to the country's cultural heritage and sports. The tweets focused on the 82nd anniversary of the Palacio Nacional de la Cultura and community support for the national football team.
In a tweet posted at 22:05 UTC, the ministry stated: "La ceremonia en el marco del 82 aniversario del Palacio Nacional de la Cultura fue dirigida por la viceministra de Patrimonio Cultural y Natural, Laura Cotí Lux, y contó con la presencia de la ministra @Liwy_Grazioso y el viceministro del Deporte, Francisco Aguilar Chang." This ceremony marked more than eight decades since the construction of one of Guatemala's most significant government buildings.
Shortly after, at 22:05 UTC, another message quoted Minister Liwy Grazioso during the event: "La ministra Grazioso también destacó: “Hoy celebramos los 82 años del Palacio Nacional de la Cultura, un edificio que guarda en sus muros la memoria del país, pero cuya verdadera fortaleza se encuentra en quienes lo han sostenido día tras día”."
Later in the evening, at 22:15 UTC, the ministry highlighted public enthusiasm for sports by sharing: "#Guatemala | Cientos de aficionados se acercaron al Centro Deportivo Gerona, para apoyar a la Selección de Guatemala. En cada instante se vivió la emoción de este duelo contra Panamá."
The Palacio Nacional de la Cultura is recognized as an architectural and historical landmark in Guatemala City. Its construction began in 1939 and was completed in 1943. Over time, it has served as both a government headquarters and a symbol of national identity. The Ministry of Culture and Sports is responsible for promoting cultural heritage and sporting activities throughout Guatemala.
