Commonwealth Sport President Donald Rukare: India has been officially awarded the 2030 Commonwealth Games, with Amdavad (Ahmedabad) declared as the host city. This landmark declaration was made during the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) General Assembly in Glasgow, Scotland, on Wednesday.

Ashwini Kumar, Principal Secretary for Ports and Transport in Gujarat, said India’s preparations for the 2030 Commonwealth Games were “meticulous, confident and driven by a solid team”.

Moments after delegates from 74 Commonwealth nations and territories approved India’s bid in Glasgow, Kumar said the state expected to complete all major preparations “by the end of 2028 or early 2029,” emphasising that facilities would be ready well in advance, aided by the staging of the World Police and Fire Games in October 2029.
