The Municipal Sports Center of Andújar is the place where take place the International Meeting of Athletics "Jaén Paraíso Interior" - Memorial Francisco Ramón Higueras, which is part of the Continental Tour (World Athletics' global outdoor meeting circuit) in its Bronze category.

Great names from the history of Spanish athletics have passed as the 1500-meter Olympic champion Fermín Cacho, the national record holder Manuel Martínez or the sprinter Sandra Myers. Along with them, a plethora of international figures such as the Cuban Iván Pedroso, multiple world champion and Olympic long jump champion, also the Olympic long champion, the British Greg Rutherford, and the best triple jumper in history, Yulimar Rojas, who is in the official poster.

The Venezuelan Rojas, Olympic champion, hexachampion of the world (three times outdoors and three times in indoor track) and world record holder, in 2021 in the moat of Andújar got the second best record in triple jump 'flying' up to 15.43 meters, while two years before it had reached 15.41 m. Another unforgettable moment of that edition of 2019 was the record of Spain’s hammer throw achieved by the Extremaduran Javier Cienfuegos, grazing the barrier of 80 meters (79.38 m).

Highlight the importance of this event for many athletes, as it is an opportunity to achieve the minimum marks necessary to participate in the European Championship and the Olympic Games.
