Seven countries have shown interest in hosting future Commonwealth Games, with five vying for the 2030 event. This comes after Victoria, Australia withdrew as the 2026 host, raising concerns about the Games' future. Bidders from Canada, India, and Nigeria are among the candidates for the 2030 event, while New Zealand aims for the 2034 Games. Future hosts must include core sports, maintain equality in sports, and aim to utilize existing facilities to minimize costs. The selection process for hosts will involve detailed proposals evaluated by Commonwealth Sport before a final recommendation is made in November.
"The seven bidding countries are a boost to the Commonwealth Games movement, with the whole concept having come under scrutiny after the Australian state of Victoria withdrew as hosts."
"Hosts will also be encouraged to utilise existing facilities to reduce costs wherever possible, while maintaining a commitment to a level playing field for para and non-para sport."
