Ahmedabad formally awarded hosting rights of 2030 Commonwealth Games

It was a mere formality for the general assembly of 74 members to put a seal of approval on India’s bid after Ahmedabad was recommended as the proposed host of the centenary edition by the Commonwealth Sport’s Executive Board last month. India last hosted the CWG in 2010 in Delhi.

The Executive Board’s recommendation followed a process overseen by the Commonwealth Sport’s Evaluation Committee.

“India brings scale, youth, ambition, rich culture, enormous sporting passion and relevance...We start our next century for the Commonwealth Games in good health,” said Dr Donald Rukare, President of Commonwealth Sport.
