The Executive Board of Commonwealth Sport was on Wednesday confirmed that it will recommend Ahmedabad as the proposed host city for the 2030 Centenary Commonwealth Games.
"Many congratulations to India on Commonwealth Association’s approval of India’s bid to host the #CommonwealthGames 2030 in Ahmedabad! This is a momentous occasion for Indian sports and a testament to the country's growing global presence! #CWG2030 #India2030," Shah posted on X.
The recommendation of Ahmedabad follows a detailed process overseen by the Commonwealth Sport Evaluation Committee, which assessed candidate cities against a wide range of criteria including technical delivery, athlete experience, infrastructure, governance, and alignment with Commonwealth Sport values.
Framed by Commonwealth Sport’s ‘Games Reset’ principles which are designed to encourage potential hosts to be innovative and work collaboratively, both Ahmedabad, India, and Abuja, Nigeria, submitted compelling proposals that reflect the ambition and potential of the Commonwealth Sport Movement.
The recommendation represents a landmark moment for the Commonwealth Sport Movement. The 2030 Games will mark the centenary of the inaugural event held in Hamilton, Canada, in 1930.
