India is exploring the possibility of hosting the 2030 Commonwealth Games. The country has begun early conversations with the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) about a potential bid. This news comes after India announced its interest in hosting the 2036 Olympics last year, showing a growing ambition to host major sporting events.
Ahmedabad is currently the frontrunner city being considered to host the Games. Bhubaneswar is also being considered as another potential location. Sources familiar with the discussions say both cities offer unique advantages.
Recently, the President and Chief Executive of the CGF visited several cities in India. This visit indicates that the CGF is seriously considering India’s potential bid. These preliminary discussions suggest India is determined to become a key player in hosting major international sporting competitions.
This time, the focus is on utilizing existing sports facilities, a departure from the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi. Ahmedabad has modern sporting facilities already in place, making it a strong candidate. The presence of these facilities could help reduce costs and streamline the preparation process.
Hosting the Commonwealth Games could have a positive impact on India. It could significantly boost the country’s economy and encourage tourism. Furthermore, successfully hosting such a large event could improve India’s reputation on the world stage.
As the discussions continue, more information about the potential venues, budget, and overall plan for hosting the 2030 Commonwealth Games in India is anticipated. The nation eagerly awaits further developments as it aims to secure this prestigious sporting event.
