Seven nations express interest in hosting future Commonwealth Games

SEVEN nations have expressed interest in hosting future Commonwealth Games.

Five nations are focused on staging the centenary 2030 Games, while two are looking at editions of the multi-sport event beyond that, Commonwealth Sport has announced.

The expressions of interest come from Africa, the Americas, Asia and Oceania, which mean Glasgow’s hosting of the 2026 Games may signal a break of well over a decade before Britain hosts again, having hosted two of the last three Games.
