India Recommended To Stage 2030 Commonwealth Games; Ahmedabad Proposed As Host City
Union Home Minister Amit Shah: In a landmark development for Indian sports, Ahmedabad has been recommended as the host city for the 24th Commonwealth Games, scheduled for 2030. The announcement was made during the Executive Board meeting of Commonwealth Sport, marking a historic moment as the Games will coincide with the centenary celebration of the Commonwealth Sport Movement.
The recommendation, which will be placed before the General Assembly of Commonwealth Sport in November 2025, reflects India’s growing stature in the global sporting arena. The proposal was jointly submitted by the Government of India, the Government of Gujarat, and the Commonwealth Games Association of India.
The move aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s consistent efforts to promote a sports culture in India, particularly through initiatives like Khelo India. Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel have also played pivotal roles in advancing India’s sports infrastructure and capabilities.
