India has officially submitted the bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games. The Indian Olympic Association has officially given the nod for the Games, giving boost to the country’s hopes.
The entire funding for the CWG 2030 will be borne by the government, with Ahmedabad proposed as the venue. According to PTI, the IOA has formally approved the country’s 2030 Commonwealth Games bid during its SGM. Deadline to submit final bid documents is August 31.
India has already submitted an Expression of Interest for the 2030 CWG with Ahmedabad as the host city. But the nation will have to submit the proposals for the final bid before the August 31 deadline.
With Canada having pulled out of the race, India’s chances of getting the 2030 CWG have brightened.
A team of officials from Commonwealth Sport, led by its Director of Games Darren Hall, recently visited Ahmedabad to inspect the venues and meet Gujarat government officials.
A bigger large delegation of Commonwealth Sport is expected to be there later this month.
The General Assembly of Commonwealth Sport will decide the host country in the last week of November in Glasgow. India has previously hosted the 2010 edition of the multi-sport event in Delhi.
