Commonwealth Sport CEO Katie Sadleir: India’s ambition to host the centennial edition of the Commonwealth Games in 2030 faces tough competition as Commonwealth Sport has officially confirmed receiving expressions of interest (EOIs) from seven nations and territories across four continents.

Canada and Nigeria have already joined India in publicly expressing their intent to host the prestigious multi-sport event. Two other unnamed nations have also shown interest in hosting the 2030 Games, while New Zealand is reportedly eyeing the 2034 edition as part of the long-term hosting pipeline.

The surge in international interest underscores a growing competition for what is considered a milestone edition of the Games, marking 100 years since the first Commonwealth Games in 1930.
