Gujarat has been selected to host the 2029 World Police & Fire Games (WPFG), marking a significant achievement for India in the realm of international sports. The games will be held in three major cities of Gujarat—Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, and Ekta Nagar. This honour was secured after Indian authorities presented a successful bid in Birmingham, USA. Gujarat was chosen due to its modern sports infrastructure, strong logistics and connectivity, and experience in hosting major global events. The games will feature participation from over 70 countries and more than 10,000 athletes, representing police, firefighters, customs, and correctional officers worldwide.
