Breaking! India Set To Host Commonwealth Games 2030 Edition, Ahmedabad Recommended As Host City

In a landmark development, Ahmedabad has been recommended as the host city for the 2030 Centenary Commonwealth Games. The Executive Board of Commonwealth Sport on Thursday confirmed that it will propose Ahmedabad as the official host city for the historic edition, ahead of Nigeria’s Abuja, which had also submitted a strong bid.

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.

If confirmed, Ahmedabad will become the second Indian city to host the Games after New Delhi, which staged the 2010 edition. India has a strong Commonwealth sporting legacy, finishing fourth in the medal standings at Birmingham 2022. Backed by the Indian government, the Gujarat state administration, and the Indian Olympic Association, Ahmedabad has pledged to deliver a full-scale Games that captures the vibrancy and diversity of modern sport.
