The Commonwealth Games General Assembly held in Glasgow awarded the Indian city of Ahmedabad the hosting rights for the 2030 Commonwealth Games, paving the way for the return of this multi-sport event to the country after two decades. Last month, the Commonwealth Sport Executive Board recommended Ahmedabad as the host of the 100th edition, after which the approval of India’s bid by the 74-member General Assembly was merely a formality.

Commonwealth Sport President Dr. Donald Rukare said that this marks the beginning of a new golden era for Commonwealth Sport. “After the ‘Games Reset,’ we are heading to Glasgow 2026 in great shape to welcome 74 Commonwealth teams, and then set our sights on Ahmedabad 2030 for a special centenary edition of the Commonwealth Games.”
