Maccabi South Africa is delighted to announce that ROB SULCAS has been selected as Team SA's flag bearer at the Opening Ceremony of the 2023 Pan American Games.

The Opening Ceremony takes place on Thursday 28th Dec (6pm local time) at the Movistar Arena with over 5000 athletes from 21 countries.

Rob is one of Maccabi SA’s most decorated athletes, having competed in five Maccabi Games in Israel, the Maccabi Australia Festival in Sydney and the European Maccabi Games (EMG) in Budapest. Rob has remarkably competed in four different sports for Team SA – football, squash, tennis and padel. He has also represented Maccabi SA together with his two sons at both EMG in 2019 where he played tennis and Benjamin and Jamie were in our futsal teams, and again at the 2022 Maccabiah in Israel (pictured). A super talented family!
