The Executive Board (EB) of Commonwealth Sport on Wednesday recommended Ahmedabad in Gujarat as the proposed host city for the 2030 Centenary Commonwealth Games.
Ahmedabad and the Nigerian capital Abuja had submitted their proposals to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games.
Following a detailed process overseen by the Commonwealth Sport Evaluation Committee, which assessed candidate cities against a wide range of criteria, the EB recommended Ahmedabad.
The final decision on this will take place at the Commonwealth Sport General Assembly in Glasgow on November 26, according to a release.
Commonwealth Sport interim president Dr Donald Rukare described the moment as “a significant milestone for the Movement as we look to our Centenary Games.”
The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and Commonwealth Games Association India (CGAI) president, P.T. Usha, said, “The Games would not only showcase India’s world-class sporting and event capabilities, but also play a meaningful role in our national journey towards Viksit Bharat 2047.”
