The city of Ahmedabad in India has been officially selected as the host for the 2030 Commonwealth Games, marking the 100th anniversary of the inaugural event held in Hamilton, Canada. The decision was ratified during the 2025 General Assembly of the Commonwealth Sport membership in Glasgow. Ahmedabad, located in the western state of Gujarat, emerged as the chosen city following a competitive evaluation process that also included Abuja, Nigeria. This announcement underscores India’s growing prominence in the global sports arena, having previously hosted the Commonwealth Games in Delhi in 2010. The 2030 Games will not only celebrate a century of the event but also highlight Ahmedabad’s capacity to organize a major international sporting spectacle. The selection comes after the Australian state of Victoria withdrew as the original host due to financial constraints, leading Glasgow to step in for a scaled-down version of the Games in 2026.
