Commonwealth Games: Canada, India, Nigeria & New Zealand among those keen to host in 2030 & 2034

Fears that Glasgow 2026 might be the last Commonwealth Games have been eased as seven nations, including Canada and India, expressed interest in hosting the Games in 2030 or 2034. Following Victoria’s withdrawal, Glasgow’s scaled-back plans for 2026, featuring fewer sports and venues, have attracted potential future hosts, with bids to be assessed over the next five months. Commonwealth Sport chief executive Katie Sadleir emphasized Scotland’s significant role and expressed confidence that Glasgow’s model will inspire broader participation in hosting future Games.
