Summary
- Vadodara considered as a potential co-host for cricket in 2030 CWG.
- Ahmedabad officially awarded hosting rights for the 2030 Commonwealth Games.
- The organizers aim for a compact and sustainable event driven by technology.
Vadodara, a neighboring city to Ahmedabad, is being considered as a potential co-host for cricket matches during the 2030 Commonwealth Games. India was officially awarded the hosting rights for the multi-sport event by the Commonwealth Sport general assembly in Glasgow. This marks India's return to hosting the Games after two decades and strengthens its bid for the 2036 Olympics.
While Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar are expected to host the majority of events, the inclusion of T20 cricket in the 2030 Games may necessitate additional venues. Vadodara, with its existing cricket stadiums, is being explored as a possibility. The Indian Olympic Association is aiming for a "compact" and sustainable event overall, utilizing technology.
The sports program, expected to include 15 to 17 sports, will evolve, with the final lineup to be announced next year after the Organising Committee is formed. India also has the opportunity to propose up to two new sports, with yoga, kho-kho, and kabaddi being potential candidates.
