Nos faltan datos del deporte

The article identifies a critical gap in public data on recreational and amateur sports in Mexico. Although INEGI provides general figures, its focus is limited to basic physical activity and major cities, overlooking the specific dynamics of emerging disciplines, local participation, and the actual conditions under which sports are practiced. This lack of granularity hinders our understanding of how sports habits have evolved at the municipal or community level. The situation is further complicated by the fragmentation of available information. Official records from sports commissions are often inaccessible or not archived publicly, while private alternatives, such as digital platforms, offer data restricted to certain categories or require formal academic research to access more detailed information. As a result, the understanding of the amateur sports ecosystem becomes blurred, leaving it dependent on tools that are not designed to serve common urban planning needs. This deficiency is fundamental to the open data movement, as it exemplifies how the absence of open and detailed statistics in a specific sector hinders evidence-based decision-making. Without accessible data on necessary infrastructure and citizens' actual behaviors, it is impossible to design cities that adequately respond to health and leisure needs. The case underscores the urgency of democratizing information to bridge the gap between institutional measurement and measurable social reality.
