About the 2030 Commonwealth Games in India
Ahmedabad has been confirmed as host city for the 2030 Centenary Commonwealth Games, a landmark first for Gujarat and a major boost for India’s global sporting profile.
The Commonwealth Games Federation has awarded hosting rights for the 2030 Games to Ahmedabad (Amdavad), making India the stage for the 100-year celebration of the multi-sport event. The bid highlights youth, sustainability, and a festival-style experience that combines Gujarati culture with modern venues.
Organisers plan to build on the legacy of the 2010 Games in New Delhi, using a mix of upgraded and new facilities, linked by improved transport and fan-focused public spaces. The event is expected to drive tourism, jobs, and long-term investment in sports infrastructure across Gujarat and beyond.
Key Highlights
- Ahmedabad will host the 2030 Games, the first time India stages the event since 2010 and the official centenary edition.
- The sports programme is expected to feature 15–17 disciplines, including athletics, aquatics, boxing, weightlifting, and major team sports.
- Plans focus on compact, connected venues, digital fan experiences, and cultural showcases featuring Gujarat and India.
- The Games are projected to boost infrastructure, tourism, employment, and India’s long-term ambitions for other mega events.
Sporting and Economic Impact
The build-up to 2030 is likely to accelerate projects such as athlete villages, multi-use arenas, training centres, and urban upgrades. After the Games, these assets can be reused for community sport and elite training, helping India nurture the next generation of athletes.
