Ahmedabad has secured the opportunity to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games, marking a significant achievement for India on the global sporting stage. The decision was finalised during the Commonwealth Sport’s General Assembly in Glasgow, where Ahmedabad’s bid surpassed that of Abuja, Nigeria. With most of the venues already prepared and funding secured, officials have expressed strong confidence in delivering a well-organised event. The Games are expected to feature 15 to 17 sports and will align with the centenary celebrations of the Commonwealth Games Movement. This hosting decision also strengthens India’s long-term ambition to bid for the 2036 Summer Olympics.
