Ahmedabad has officially secured hosting rights for the 2030 Commonwealth Games, marking the event’s return to India after two decades and strengthening the nation’s push to host the 2036 Olympics with major infrastructure upgrades underway.

It's official: Ahmedabad formally awarded hosting rights of 2030 Commonwealth Games

Ahmedabad has officially secured hosting rights for the 2030 Commonwealth Games, marking the event&rsquo;s return to India after two decades and strengthening the nation&rsquo;s push to host the 2036 Olympics with major infrastructure upgrades underway.

Ahmedabad was formally awarded hosting rights of the 2030 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on Wednesday, paving the way for the multi-sport event's return to India after two decades and giving impetus to the country's audacious plan of becoming an Olympic host in 2036.
Commonwealth Sport's general assembly of 74 members put a seal of approval on India's bid after Ahmedabad was recommended as the proposed host of the centenary edition its Executive Board last month. India last hosted the CWG in 2010 in Delhi.
The Executive Board's recommendation followed a process of bid examination overseen by the Commonwealth Sport's Evaluation Committee. "India brings scale, youth, ambition, rich culture, enormous sporting passion and relevance...We start our next century for the Commonwealth Games in good health," said Dr Donald Rukare, President of Commonwealth Sport.
The decision also bolstered India's ambition to be an Olympic host in 2036, which is also proposed to be held in the Gujarat capital. Ahmedabad has upgraded its sports infrastructure on a war footing in the last one decade to present itself as a sporting hub.
"We are building world-class sports infrastructure, including Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave and the Gujarat Police Academy. It's a city where heritage meets ambition, faith meets modernity, and history meets hope," Gujarat's Deputy CM Harsh Sanghavi, who also holds the sports portfolio, said in a press conference after the general assembly.
"Ahmedabad is a compact, well-connected city with modern transport, accommodation and strong support systems," he added.
India was facing competition from the Nigerian city of Abuja for the 2030 bid. But Commonwealth Sport decided to instead consider the African nation for the 2034 edition.
For the 2010 Delhi Games, India had spent close to Rs 70,000 crore to host the 2010 edition of the Games, far exceeding the initial estimate of Rs 1600 crore and also faced heavy criticism for corruption in the build-up to the event. The quadrennial showpiece has been struggling to stay relevant and find willing hosts for a while.
"We are deeply honoured by the trust shown by Commonwealth Sport. The 2030 Games will not only celebrate a 100 years of the Commonwealth Movement but also lay the foundation for the next century," PT Usha, President of the Commonwealth Games Association of India and the IOA, said.
"It will bring together Athletes, communities, and cultures from across the Commonwealth in a spirit of friendship and progress," she added.
In Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya hailed the Ganes' return to India. "Congratulations to the people of India and the sporting ecosystem. It is our collective commitment and spirit of sportsmanship that has placed India firmly on the global sporting map," Modi said in a post on X.
Mandaviya also hailed the "prestigious moment". "India is capable of hosting major events and will be among the top-10 sporting nations by 2036 and top-five in the world by 2047 when the country celebrates 100 years of independence," he said.
2030 Games to feature 15-17 disciplines
Commonwealth Sport also confirmed that 15 to 17 sports will feature at the 2030 Games. "The Amdavad 2030 team will work closely with Commonwealth Sport and the International Federation community to shape a dynamic and exciting sport programme with strong local resonance and global appeal," the body stated.
Athletics and Para Athletics, Swimming and Para Swimming, Table Tennis and Para Table Tennis, Bowls and Para Bowls, Weightlifting and Para Powerlifting, Artistic Gymnastics, Netball and Boxing are the confirmed disciplines.
"The process to finalise the remainder of the programme will start next month, and the full Centenary Games line-up will be announced next year.
"The sports under consideration are: Archery, Badminton, 3x3 Basketball and 3x3 Wheelchair Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Cricket T20, Cycling, Diving, Hockey, Judo, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Rugby Sevens, Shooting, Squash, Triathlon and Para Triathlon and Wrestling.
"The host can also propose up to two new or traditional sports," it added.
The expanded programme stays true to the Indian Olympic Association's commitment to have an elaborate Games. The 2026 edition in Glasgow will be a scaled down event with just 10 disciplines on its roster, leaving out sports like shooting, archery, hockey and badminton among others due to cost considerations.
In recent months, Ahmedabad hosted the Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships, the Asian Aquatics Championships and football's AFC Under-17 Asian Cup 2026 Qualifiers. Next year, it would be hosting the Asian Weightlifting Championship, and Asia Para-Archery Cup.
In 2029, the World Police and Fire Games will be held in Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, and Ekta Nagar.
The Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave is one of the prime venues that is currently under development and apart from the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium, which has a capacity of over one lakh, it is designed to house an aquatics centre and a football stadium along with two arenas for indoor sports.
An athletes village that can house 3,000 is also set to be built inside this complex. The Gujarat government is hoping to complete the venues by 2028.
The first Commonwealth Games, then called the British Empire Games, was held in Hamilton, Canada in 1930.

India’s bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad is set for formal approval at the Commonwealth Sport general assembly, with plans for full-scale events including medal-rich and traditional sports.

India Set to Secure Hosting Rights for 2030 Commonwealth Games

India to Host 2030 Commonwealth Games

India&rsquo;s bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad is set for formal approval at the Commonwealth Sport general assembly, with plans for full-scale events including medal-rich and traditional sports.

All but assured of the hosting rights more than a month back, India's 2030 Commonwealth Games bid is set to be formally approved on Wednesday at the Commonwealth Sport's general assembly in Glasgow, marking a major milestone in the country's ambitious plan to become a global multi-sport hub.
India last hosted the Games in 2010 in Delhi but this time, the multi-sport event would be coming to Ahmedabad, a city that has upgraded its sports infrastructure at war footing in the last one decade.
Wednesday's General Assembly will go through the formality of putting a seal of approval on what has already been recommended by the Commonwealth Sport's Board. That recommendation followed a process overseen by the Commonwealth Sport's Evaluation Committee. It assessed the candidate cities for "technical delivery, athlete experience, infrastructure, governance, and alignment with Commonwealth Sport values."
For the 2030 CWG bid, India was facing competition from the Nigerian city of Abuja. But Commonwealth Sport decided to instead consider the African nation for the 2034 edition after developing "a strategy for supporting and accelerating" its hosting ambitions.
"During the Assembly, members from across the Commonwealth will take the final decision regarding the host of the Centenary Commonwealth Games in 2030, following a presentation from India, outlining their vision for the Games in Amdavad (also known as Ahmedabad).
"The confirmation of the recommendation will be followed by a unique broadcast moment," stated a press note from Commonwealth Sport that gave a lowdown of how the day would pan out in the Scottish capital. A formal announcement is expected around 6.30pm (IST) and India is being represented by joint secretary (sports) Kunal, Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President P T Usha and Gujarat Sports Minister Harsh Sanghavi among others.
"The decision will mark a pivotal moment for the future of the Commonwealth Sport Movement, and a significant chapter in its 100-year history," the Commonwealth Sport added.
India had spent close to Rs 70,000 crore to host the 2010 edition of the Games, far exceeding the initial estimate of Rs 1600 crore. The quadrennial event, which has been struggling to stay relevant and find willing hosts for a while, features athletes from 72 countries, a majority of them former British colonies.
Getting the Games' hosting rights would be a significant milestone in India's quest to become an Olympic host in 2036, also proposed to be conducted in Ahmedabad. Interim President of Commonwealth Sport, Dr Donald Rukare, had said that the Executive Board found proposals from both India and Nigeria "inspiring" but ultimately chose Ahmedabad for 2030.
In recent months, Ahmedabad hosted the Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships, the Asian Aquatics Championships and football's AFC Under-17 Asian Cup 2026 Qualifiers. Next year, it would be hosting the Asian Weightlifting Championship, and Asia Para-Archery Cup. In 2029, the World Police and Fire Games will be held in Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, and Ekta Nagar.
The Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave is one of the prime venues that is currently under development and apart from the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium, which has a capacity of over one lakh, it is designed to house an aquatics centre and a football stadium along with two arenas for indoor sports. An athletes village that can house 3,000 is also set to be built inside this complex.
India promises grandeur
The 2026 CWG, which will be held in Glasgow, has been massively scaled down to prevent the budget from overshooting. The city, which intends to conduct the entire event within an eight-mile (approx 12km) radius, has kept the budget at a modest 114 million pounds (over Rs 1300 crore).
As a result, some major disciplines like wrestling, shooting, badminton and hockey have been left out of the 10-sport roster. India was bitterly opposed to this pruning as it severely dented its medal-yielding capacity. However, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has made it clear that the 2030 Games will have an elaborate programme featuring all the disciplines that have been dropped by Glasgow.
"The plan is to have all our medal-earning sports like shooting, archery, wrestling etc. Our traditional sports like kabaddi, and kho kho should also be there," IOA joint secretary Kalyan Chaubey had said.
Commonwealth Sport had acknowledged the world's most populous nation and its "proud sporting history and a strong record of Commonwealth Games success, finishing fourth on the medal table at Birmingham 2022."
"Amdavad's proposal emphasises India's commitment to the values of the Commonwealth and its capacity to stage a Games that reflects the scale and diversity of modern sport," it had said last month.
