Brazil and Sri Lanka also put in bids to stage the event. Participating delegations represented every Portuguese-speaking [[National Olympic Committee]] and other countries with historic ties to Portugal. The Chairman for these Games was [[Manohar Parrikar]], the chief minister of Goa and the Chief Executive Officer was Keshav Chandra IAS, Secretary to the [[Government of Goa]] for Sports and Education. The Games were originally planned to be held in 2013, but was postponed and moved to the January 2014 dates.<ref name=Goan/>

Since Goa was elected to host the games, Brazil chose not to send their athletes because of the ¨huge postponement¨ of the competition. Only 7 Brazilian athletes, independently of Brazilian Olympic Committee, competed at the 2014 Lusophone Games.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://blogs.estadao.com.br/olimpilulas/sem-brasil-jogos-da-lusofonia-sofrem-criticas-e-so-tem-site-em-ingles/|title=Sem Brasil, Jogos da Lusofonia só se comunicam em Inglês|date=22 January 2014 |publisher=Estadao |access-date=2014-05-11 |language=Portuguese}}</ref>
