Unsurprisingly, the 2030 Commonwealth Games will be held in India. This was recommended by the Commonwealth Sport Executive Board in October. Ahmedabad has been officially designated as the host of this centenary edition Wednesday.
« This is the beginning ofa new golden era for Commonwealth Sport, says Dr. Donald Rukare, president of Commonwealth Sport. After a "reset" of the Games, we head to Glasgow 2026 in top form to host the 74 Commonwealth teams before turning our attention to Ahmedabad 2030 for a special centenary edition of the Commonwealth Games. India brings its scale, its youth, its ambition, its rich culture, his immense passion for sport and his relevance, and I am delighted to announce the strong interest shown by several nations in hosting the 2034 Games and beyond. »
