Ahmedabad Gujarat will be Host City for Commonwealth Games in 2030
As part of Prime Minister’s Olympic Vision
India’s Ahmedabad has been selected as the proposed host city for the Commonwealth Games 2030, the Executive Board of Commonwealth Sport confirmed on Wednesday.
The final decision on the host nation for the Centenary Commonwealth Games will be made by the General Assembly of Commonwealth Sport and will be announced on November 26 in Glasgow.
First hosted in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada, the Commonwealth Games will see its 24th edition play out in 2030. The last edition was held in Birmingham, UK, in 2022 and the upcoming one is scheduled to be held in Glasgow, Scotland, next year.
“It would be an extraordinary honor for India to host the Centenary Commonwealth Games in Amdavad (Ahmedabad). The Games would not only showcase India’s world-class sporting and event capabilities, but also play a meaningful role in our national journey towards Viksit Bharat 2047,” PT Usha, President of Commonwealth Games Association India, said.
“We see the 2030 Games as a powerful opportunity to inspire our youth, strengthen international partnerships and contribute to a shared future across the Commonwealth,” she added.
The Commonwealth Sport Evaluation Committee’s recommendation of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, followed a rigorous review process. Candidate cities were assessed on technical delivery, athlete experience, infrastructure, governance and alignment with Commonwealth Sport values.
Both Ahmedabad, India and Abuja, Nigeria, submitted proposals to host the Centenary Commonwealth Games.
India, the most populous nation in the Commonwealth, has a strong record at the Commonwealth Games. They finished fourth on the medal table last time around at Birmingham 2022.
India has previously hosted the Commonwealth Games in 2010, staging the event in New Delhi.
It was also the country’s most successful campaign in the CWG to date, with Indian athletes finishing with a total of 101 medals, including 38 golds, to finish second on the medals tally.
CWG 2026 Glasgow will be a scaled-down edition with several sports like hockey, badminton, wrestling and shooting cut from the programme.
